If another qdisc is attached, it preempts the default +pfifo_fast, which automatically returns to function when an existing qdisc +is detached. + +In this sense this qdisc is magic, and unlike other qdiscs. + +.SH ALGORITHM +The algorithm is very similar to that of the classful +.BR tc-prio (8) +qdisc. +.B pfifo_fast +is like three +.BR tc-pfifo (8) +queues side by side, where packets can be enqueued in any of the three bands +based on their Type of Service bits or assigned priority. + +Not all three bands are dequeued simultaneously - as long as lower bands +have traffic, higher bands are never dequeued. This can be used to +prioritize interactive traffic or penalize 'lowest cost' traffic. + +Each band can be txqueuelen packets long, as configured with +.BR ifconfig (8) +or +.BR ip (8). +Additional packets coming in are not enqueued but are instead dropped. + +See +.BR tc-prio (8) +for complete details on how TOS bits are translated into bands. +.SH PARAMETERS +.TP +txqueuelen +The length of the three bands depends on the interface txqueuelen, as +specified with +.BR ifconfig (8) +or +.BR ip (8). + +.SH BUGS +Does not maintain statistics and does not show up in tc qdisc ls.
