+ OF OPERATION</a></h1>
+<p class="Pp">Data received on a hook - both in upstream and downstream
+ direction - is put into an inbound queue. If inbound queue is full, discard
+ one frame depending on dropping policy (from the head or from the tail of
+ the queue).</p>
+<p class="Pp">There are three mutually exclusive modes for the input queue:</p>
+<dl class="Bl-tag">
+ <dt id="First"><a class="permalink" href="#First"><code class="Dv">First In
+ First Out (FIFO)</code></a></dt>
+ <dd>A single queue holds packets in chronological order.</dd>
+ <dt id="Weighted"><a class="permalink" href="#Weighted"><code class="Dv">Weighted
+ fair queuing (WFQ)</code></a></dt>
+ <dd>There are multiple queues for different traffic flows (based on IPv4 IPs).
+ The longest queue is truncated if necessary. This approach assumes that
+ the stalling flow is the flow with the most packets currently on
+ hold.</dd>
+ <dt id="Deficit"><a class="permalink" href="#Deficit"><code class="Dv">Deficit
+ Round Robin (DRR)</code></a></dt>
+ <dd>This mode is similar to WFQ, but packets are not taken out in strict
+ chronological order. In principle oldest packets come first, but not too
+ many packets from the same flow.</dd>
+</dl>
+<p class="Pp">It is possible to configure a duplication probability. As the dice
+ decides, the currently active packet stays in the queue while a copy of the
+ packet is sent out. Nothing prevents a packet from being duplicated multiple
+ times.</p>
+<p class="Pp">Packets are dropped with an increasing probability depending on
+ the size of the packet, if a <var class="Va">ber</var> (bit error rate) is
+ configured.</p>
+<p class="Pp">Surviving packets are delayed by the time the packet would need to
+ travel through a link of the configured bandwidth. If this outbound queue is
+ full, the packet is dropped.</p>
