Hi
I am working for the msc thesis to improve the performance on network
for guest domains that uses real-time services like voip or video
streaming servers , i have an idea to implement a network scheduler on
network backend, the schedulers may be weighted fair queuing or weighted
round robin, the idea is to schedule first the packet coming from
real-time guest services, one of those schedulers could make the job and
can prioritize the network traffic.
As far as i have studied from previous works explain that the outgoing
network traffic in xen is scheduled in round robin manner inside the
function net_tx_action(). Later on the last version of xen this function
has changed xenvif_tx_action() and have changed his primarily structure.
My primarily goal is to modify the round robin to more advanced
scheduler which introduce priorities. The clear question is that where
is located the function which schedule in round robin and if possible
are there any concern about using another network scheduling method in
netback ?
Thanks in advance
