net-qdisc-hhf: Heavy-Hitter Filter (HHF) qdisc
This patch implements the first size-based qdisc that attempts to
differentiate between small flows and heavy-hitters. The goal is to
catch the heavy-hitters and move them to a separate queue with less
priority so that bulk traffic does not affect the latency of critical
traffic. Currently "less priority" means less weight (2:1 in
particular) in a Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) scheduler.
In essence, this patch addresses the "delay-bloat" problem due to
bloated buffers. In some systems, large queues may be necessary for
obtaining CPU efficiency, or due to the presence of unresponsive
traffic like UDP, or just a large number of connections with each
having a small amount of outstanding traffic. In these circumstances,
HHF aims to reduce the HoL blocking for latency sensitive traffic,
while not impacting the queues built up by bulk traffic. HHF can also
be used in conjunction with other AQM mechanisms such as CoDel.
To capture heavy-hitters, we implement the "multi-stage filter" design
in the following paper:
C. Estan and G. Varghese, "New Directions in Traffic Measurement and
Accounting", in ACM SIGCOMM, 2002.
Some configurable qdisc settings through 'tc':
- hhf_reset_timeout: period to reset counter values in the multi-stage
filter (default 40ms)
- hhf_admit_bytes: threshold to classify heavy-hitters
(default 128KB)
- hhf_evict_timeout: threshold to evict idle heavy-hitters
(default 1s)
- hhf_non_hh_weight: Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) weight for
non-heavy-hitters (default 2)
- hh_flows_limit: max number of heavy-hitter flow entries
(default 2048)
Note that the ratio between hhf_admit_bytes and hhf_reset_timeout
reflects the bandwidth of heavy-hitters that we attempt to capture
(25Mbps with the above default settings).
The false negative rate (heavy-hitter flows getting away unclassified)
is zero by the design of the multi-stage filter algorithm.
With 100 heavy-hitter flows, using four hashes and 4000 counters yields
a false positive rate (non-heavy-hitters mistakenly classified as
heavy-hitters) of less than 1e-4.

/* Heavy-Hitter Filter (HHF)
*
* Principles :
* Flows are classified into two buckets : non - heavy - hitter and heavy - hitter
* buckets . Initially , a new flow starts as non - heavy - hitter . Once classified
* as heavy - hitter , it is immediately switched to the heavy - hitter bucket .
* The buckets are dequeued by a Weighted Deficit Round Robin ( WDRR ) scheduler ,
* in which the heavy - hitter bucket is served with less weight .
* In other words , non - heavy - hitters ( e . g . , short bursts of critical traffic )
* are isolated from heavy - hitters ( e . g . , persistent bulk traffic ) and also have
* higher share of bandwidth .
*
* To capture heavy - hitters , we use the " multi-stage filter " algorithm in the
* following paper :
* [ EV02 ] C . Estan and G . Varghese , " New Directions in Traffic Measurement and
* Accounting " , in ACM SIGCOMM, 2002.
*
* Conceptually , a multi - stage filter comprises k independent hash functions
* and k counter arrays . Packets are indexed into k counter arrays by k hash
* functions , respectively . The counters are then increased by the packet sizes .
* Therefore ,
* - For a heavy - hitter flow : * all * of its k array counters must be large .
* - For a non - heavy - hitter flow : some of its k array counters can be large
* due to hash collision with other small flows ; however , with high
* probability , not * all * k counters are large .
*
* By the design of the multi - stage filter algorithm , the false negative rate
* ( heavy - hitters getting away uncaptured ) is zero . However , the algorithm is
* susceptible to false positives ( non - heavy - hitters mistakenly classified as
* heavy - hitters ) .
* Therefore , we also implement the following optimizations to reduce false
* positives by avoiding unnecessary increment of the counter values :
* - Optimization O1 : once a heavy - hitter is identified , its bytes are not
* accounted in the array counters . This technique is called " shielding "
* in Section 3.3 .1 of [ EV02 ] .
* - Optimization O2 : conservative update of counters
* ( Section 3.3 .2 of [ EV02 ] ) ,
* New counter value = max { old counter value ,
* smallest counter value + packet bytes }
*
* Finally , we refresh the counters periodically since otherwise the counter
* values will keep accumulating .
*
* Once a flow is classified as heavy - hitter , we also save its per - flow state
* in an exact - matching flow table so that its subsequent packets can be
* dispatched to the heavy - hitter bucket accordingly .
*
*
* At a high level , this qdisc works as follows :
* Given a packet p :
* - If the flow - id of p ( e . g . , TCP 5 - tuple ) is already in the exact - matching
* heavy - hitter flow table , denoted table T , then send p to the heavy - hitter
* bucket .
* - Otherwise , forward p to the multi - stage filter , denoted filter F
* + If F decides that p belongs to a non - heavy - hitter flow , then send p
* to the non - heavy - hitter bucket .
* + Otherwise , if F decides that p belongs to a new heavy - hitter flow ,
* then set up a new flow entry for the flow - id of p in the table T and
* send p to the heavy - hitter bucket .
*
* In this implementation :
* - T is a fixed - size hash - table with 1024 entries . Hash collision is
* resolved by linked - list chaining .
* - F has four counter arrays , each array containing 1024 32 - bit counters .
* That means 4 * 1024 * 32 bits = 16 KB of memory .
* - Since each array in F contains 1024 counters , 10 bits are sufficient to
* index into each array .
* Hence , instead of having four hash functions , we chop the 32 - bit
* skb - hash into three 10 - bit chunks , and the remaining 10 - bit chunk is
* computed as XOR sum of those three chunks .
* - We need to clear the counter arrays periodically ; however , directly
* memsetting 16 KB of memory can lead to cache eviction and unwanted delay .
* So by representing each counter by a valid bit , we only need to reset
* 4 K of 1 bit ( i . e . 512 bytes ) instead of 16 KB of memory .
* - The Deficit Round Robin engine is taken from fq_codel implementation
* ( net / sched / sch_fq_codel . c ) . Note that wdrr_bucket corresponds to
* fq_codel_flow in fq_codel implementation .

net-qdisc-hhf: Heavy-Hitter Filter (HHF) qdisc
This patch implements the first size-based qdisc that attempts to
differentiate between small flows and heavy-hitters. The goal is to
catch the heavy-hitters and move them to a separate queue with less
priority so that bulk traffic does not affect the latency of critical
traffic. Currently "less priority" means less weight (2:1 in
particular) in a Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) scheduler.
In essence, this patch addresses the "delay-bloat" problem due to
bloated buffers. In some systems, large queues may be necessary for
obtaining CPU efficiency, or due to the presence of unresponsive
traffic like UDP, or just a large number of connections with each
having a small amount of outstanding traffic. In these circumstances,
HHF aims to reduce the HoL blocking for latency sensitive traffic,
while not impacting the queues built up by bulk traffic. HHF can also
be used in conjunction with other AQM mechanisms such as CoDel.
To capture heavy-hitters, we implement the "multi-stage filter" design
in the following paper:
C. Estan and G. Varghese, "New Directions in Traffic Measurement and
Accounting", in ACM SIGCOMM, 2002.
Some configurable qdisc settings through 'tc':
- hhf_reset_timeout: period to reset counter values in the multi-stage
filter (default 40ms)
- hhf_admit_bytes: threshold to classify heavy-hitters
(default 128KB)
- hhf_evict_timeout: threshold to evict idle heavy-hitters
(default 1s)
- hhf_non_hh_weight: Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) weight for
non-heavy-hitters (default 2)
- hh_flows_limit: max number of heavy-hitter flow entries
(default 2048)
Note that the ratio between hhf_admit_bytes and hhf_reset_timeout
reflects the bandwidth of heavy-hitters that we attempt to capture
(25Mbps with the above default settings).
The false negative rate (heavy-hitter flows getting away unclassified)
is zero by the design of the multi-stage filter algorithm.
With 100 heavy-hitter flows, using four hashes and 4000 counters yields
a false positive rate (non-heavy-hitters mistakenly classified as
heavy-hitters) of less than 1e-4.

net-qdisc-hhf: Heavy-Hitter Filter (HHF) qdisc
This patch implements the first size-based qdisc that attempts to
differentiate between small flows and heavy-hitters. The goal is to
catch the heavy-hitters and move them to a separate queue with less
priority so that bulk traffic does not affect the latency of critical
traffic. Currently "less priority" means less weight (2:1 in
particular) in a Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) scheduler.
In essence, this patch addresses the "delay-bloat" problem due to
bloated buffers. In some systems, large queues may be necessary for
obtaining CPU efficiency, or due to the presence of unresponsive
traffic like UDP, or just a large number of connections with each
having a small amount of outstanding traffic. In these circumstances,
HHF aims to reduce the HoL blocking for latency sensitive traffic,
while not impacting the queues built up by bulk traffic. HHF can also
be used in conjunction with other AQM mechanisms such as CoDel.
To capture heavy-hitters, we implement the "multi-stage filter" design
in the following paper:
C. Estan and G. Varghese, "New Directions in Traffic Measurement and
Accounting", in ACM SIGCOMM, 2002.
Some configurable qdisc settings through 'tc':
- hhf_reset_timeout: period to reset counter values in the multi-stage
filter (default 40ms)
- hhf_admit_bytes: threshold to classify heavy-hitters
(default 128KB)
- hhf_evict_timeout: threshold to evict idle heavy-hitters
(default 1s)
- hhf_non_hh_weight: Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) weight for
non-heavy-hitters (default 2)
- hh_flows_limit: max number of heavy-hitter flow entries
(default 2048)
Note that the ratio between hhf_admit_bytes and hhf_reset_timeout
reflects the bandwidth of heavy-hitters that we attempt to capture
(25Mbps with the above default settings).
The false negative rate (heavy-hitter flows getting away unclassified)
is zero by the design of the multi-stage filter algorithm.
With 100 heavy-hitter flows, using four hashes and 4000 counters yields
a false positive rate (non-heavy-hitters mistakenly classified as
heavy-hitters) of less than 1e-4.
