Hi everyone, I'm a student at NC State University, and I'm working on a project to implement some new classful AQM algorithms and test their effectiveness. However, I'm getting hung up on how to get the new algorithm set up in the kernel. From what I've looked at, it looks like I need to add my code to /net/sched/, and edit both the Kconfig and the Makefile to be able to add my code as another module.
Basically yes, take a look at: http://lwn.net/Articles/577208/
Finally, in order to use the new scheduler, I need to select it using the tc command. What do I need to do to add my algorithm to the tc command options?
Read the existing qdisc's in tc, for example: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git/tree/tc/q_fq.c
