38 This code is NOT intended to be used for statistics collection,
39 its purpose is to provide a base for statistical multiplexing
40 for controlled load service.
41 If you need only statistics, run a user level daemon which
42 periodically reads byte counters.
44 Unfortunately, rate estimation is not a very easy task.
45 F.e. I did not find a simple way to estimate the current peak rate
46 and even failed to formulate the problem 8)8)
48 So I preferred not to built an estimator into the scheduler,
49 but run this task separately.
50 Ideally, it should be kernel thread(s), but for now it runs
51 from timers, which puts apparent top bounds on the number of rated
52 flows, has minimal overhead on small, but is enough
53 to handle controlled load service, sets of aggregates.
55 We measure rate over A=(1<<interval) seconds and evaluate EWMA:
57 avrate = avrate*(1-W) + rate*W
59 where W is chosen as negative power of 2: W = 2^(-ewma_log)
61 The resulting time constant is:
68 * The stored value for avbps is scaled by 2^5, so that maximal
69 rate is ~1Gbit, avpps is scaled by 2^10.
71 * Minimal interval is HZ/4=250msec (it is the greatest common divisor
72 for HZ=100 and HZ=1024 8)), maximal interval
73 is (HZ*2^EST_MAX_INTERVAL)/4 = 8sec. Shorter intervals
74 are too expensive, longer ones can be implemented
75 at user level painlessly.
