The plug qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the
qdisc receives a plug ("buffer") command via netlink request,
packets arriving henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug
command is received. Depending on the type of unplug ("release_one"
or "release_indefinite"), the queue can be unplugged indefinitely or
selectively.
The plug qdisc allows a user to implement network output buffering
(aka output commit), used commonly in checkpoint based fault tolerance
systems. It also supports a general purpose queue plug/unplug
functionality.
The associated kernel module is available in David Miller's net-next
tree, commit: c3059be16c9ef29c05f0876a9df5fea21f29724f
This patch introduces userspace tools and API, to control the qdisc
via netlink messages.
