While +tc could be called directly, using the daemon allows for a simpler interface +and keeps track of the current traffic shaping configurations in use. + +Support +------- + +To enable the Shaper daemon support for AVTP Pipeline, edit the endpoint.ini +file and uncomment the port=15365 line of the shaper section. + +The Shaper daemon does not work (i.e. no shaping occurs) if the Intel IGB +support is loaded for the adapter being used. You may also need to compile +the AVTP Pipeline with PLATFORM_TOOLCHAIN=generic to not include the IGB +features. + +Future Updates +-------------- + +- Have the daemon verify that tc is installed +- Have the daemon verify that the kernel is configured to support Hierarchy + Token Bucket traffic shaping +- Add a method to interlace frames from multiple streams of the same class + (perhaps using multiple layers of queues) +- Add updates to support IEEE 802.1Qcc configurable classes + |
