Dear all,
I would like to announce that we (myself and Grenville Armitage) released
Dummynet AQM v0.1, which is an independent implementation of CoDel and FQ-CoDel
for FreeBSD's ipfw/dummynet framework, based on the IETF CoDel [1] and
FQ-CoDel [2] Internet-Drafts.
We prepared patches for FreeBSD11-CURRENT-r295345 and FreeBSD 10.x-RELEASE
(10.0, 10.1, 10.2), and a technical report of our implementation.
Patches and documentation can be found in:
http://caia.swin.edu.au/freebsd/aqm

In browsing this it appears that shaped rates were tested only (?). I am
curious what native performance (10,100,1gbit) looked like. I think that
freebsd lacks a BQL-like mechanism to control the driver queues, and on
the other hand freebsd did not go as nuts with offloads as linux did. Is
this code generally applicable (to things like pfsense?)
Aside from that, looks pretty good. I am curious also as to what caused
the offset difference in sawtooth pattern between linux and bsd
implementations (like in fig 2) Different initcwnd? ssthresh? don't seem
to be it - linux reno vs bsd reno?
I can't distinguish between the maximum congestion windows, but Linux's RTT
(especially the minimum one) is smaller on all three figures (2,3, and 4),
and packet losses for FreeBSD are a little less frequent. So, assuming that
the AQM behaves the same, there is another queue somewhere.
What is strange is that Linux's goodput is higher on figures 2 and 3
despite
lower queueing delay. On the other hand for Cubic both delay and goodput are
slightly smaller. Is that advanced loss recovery in Linux?
Also, is it normal that NewReno resets its congestion window (to initcwnd)
after each packet loss aka. why it looks like Tahoe? Does CoDeL go into
dropping more than one packet per RTT if the RTT is much smaller than an
interval?
