A simple "instantaneous" plug/unplug operation, by issuing an alternating + * sequence of TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER & TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE commands. + * + * 2. For network output buffering (a.k.a output commit) functionality. + * Output commit property is commonly used by applications using checkpoint + * based fault-tolerance to ensure that the checkpoint from which a system + * is being restored is consistent w.r.t outside world. + * + * Consider for e.g. Remus - a Virtual Machine checkpointing system, + * wherein a VM is checkpointed, say every 50ms. The checkpoint is replicated + * asynchronously to the backup host, while the VM continues executing the + * next epoch speculatively. + * + * The following is a typical sequence of output buffer operations: + * 1.At epoch i, start_buffer(i) + * 2. At end of epoch i (i.e. after 50ms): + * 2.1 Stop VM and take checkpoint(i). + * 2.2 start_buffer(i+1) and Resume VM + * 3. While speculatively executing epoch(i+1), asynchronously replicate + * checkpoint(i) to backup host. + * 4. When checkpoint_ack(i) is received from backup, release_buffer(i) + * Thus, this Qdisc would receive the following sequence of commands: + * TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i) + * ..
