Extend slotting with support for non-uniform distributions. This is
similar to netem's non-uniform distribution delay feature.
Commit f043efeae2f1 ("netem: support delivering packets in delayed
time slots") added the slotting feature to approximate the behaviors
of media with packet aggregation but only supported a uniform
distribution for delays between transmission attempts. Tests with TCP
BBR with emulated wifi links with non-uniform distributions produced
more useful results.
Syntax:
slot dist DISTRIBUTION DELAY JITTER [packets MAX_PACKETS] \
[bytes MAX_BYTES]
The syntax and use of the distribution table is the same as in the
non-uniform distribution delay feature. A file DISTRIBUTION must be
present in TC_LIB_DIR (e.g. /usr/lib/tc) containing numbers scaled by
NETEM_DIST_SCALE. A random value x is selected from the table and it
takes DELAY + ( x * JITTER ) as delay. Correlation between values is not
supported.
Examples:
Normal distribution delay with mean = 800us and stdev = 100us.
> tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem slot dist normal 800us 100us
Optionally set the max slot size in bytes and/or packets.
> tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem slot dist normal 800us 100us \
bytes 64k packets 42

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
