What approach should I follow? Hmm. I had made some efforts to speed up fq_codel here: https://github.com/dtaht/fq_codel_fast based on ideas here: https://lists.bufferbloat.net/pipermail/codel/2018-August/002367.html Notably I wanted to get rid of the non O(1) bulk dropper search and keep the flow backlog closer to the flow stats. Needed oprofiling to see if it helped. > 3. Would maintaining a per flow pie_stats be useful in the future? I > do not use the per flow stats anywhere in the code. In general I have not found per flow stats useful or accessible and it was one of the things I eliminated in fq_codel_fast > On Tue, Apr 2, 2019 at 10:55 PM Toke H=C3=B8iland-J=C3=B8rgensen wrote: > > > > Gautam Ramakrishnan writes: > > > > > Hello, thanks for the feedback > > > > > > On Tue, Apr 2, 2019 at 4:19 PM Toke H=C3=B8iland-J=C3=B8rgensen wrote: > > >> > > >> Some suggestions below to make fq_pie and fq_codel more similar (ref= . my > > >> previous email). > > >> > > >> Also, a few unrelated nits. > > >> > > >> > From: Mohit P.
