Feature #4362

Updated by Anonymous over 6 years ago

When NFD is running natively (e.g. on Ethernet links), a router should be able to detect congestion by measuring its queue (either backlog size, or queuing delay). 

 This congestion measurement should then be used to signal consumers by putting congestion marks into packets (#3797). (#1624). 

 Some remaining design questions: 

 - Is it possible to access low-level queues of the network interface? 
 - Are there some queues inside NFD that can be used for this purpose? 
 - Does this also work for TCP tunnels and/or wireless links? 

 Please feel free to ask more questions below.
