From 6da7c8fcbcbdb50ec68c61b40d554c74850fdb91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:19:08 -0700 Subject: qdisc: allow setting default queuing discipline By default, the pfifo_fast queue discipline has been used by default for all devices. But we have better choices now. This patch allow setting the default queueing discipline with sysctl. This allows easy use of better queueing disciplines on all devices without having to use tc qdisc scripts. It is intended to allow an easy path for distributions to make fq_codel or sfq the default qdisc. This patch also makes pfifo_fast more of a first class qdisc, since it is now possible to manually override the default and explicitly use pfifo_fast. The behavior for systems who do not use the sysctl is unchanged, they still get pfifo_fast Also removes leftover random # in sysctl net core.
