dcb buffer is used to configure assignment of traffic to port
buffers based on traffic priority, and sizes of those buffers. It
can be also used to inspect the current configuration, as well as
total device memory that the port buffers take.
For read-write parameters, the following describes only the write
direction, i.e. as used with the set command. For the show
command, the parameter name is to be used as a simple keyword
without further arguments. This instructs the tool to show the
value of a given parameter. When no parameters are given, the
tool shows the complete buffer configuration.
total-size
A read-only property that shows the total device memory
taken up by port buffers. This might be more than a simple
sum of individual buffer sizes if there are any hidden or
internal buffers.
prio-buffer PRIO-MAP
PRIO-MAP uses the array parameter syntax, see dcb(8) for
details. Keys are priorities, values are buffer indices.
For each priority sets a buffer where traffic with that
priority is directed to.
buffer-size SIZE-MAP
SIZE-MAP uses the array parameter syntax, see dcb(8) for
details. Keys are buffer indices, values are sizes of that
buffer in bytes. The sizes can use the notation
documented in section PARAMETERS at tc(8). Note that the
size requested by the tool can be rounded or capped by the
driver to satisfy the requirements of the device.
Configure the priomap in a one-to-one fashion:
# dcb buffer set dev eth0 prio-buffer 0:0 1:1 2:2 3:3 4:4 5:5 6:6
7:7
Set sizes of all buffers to 10KB, except for buffer 6, which will
have the size 1MB:
# dcb buffer set dev eth0 buffer-size all:10K 6:1M
Show what was set:
# dcb buffer show dev eth0
prio-buffer 0:0 1:1 2:2 3:3 4:4 5:5 6:6 7:7
buffer-size 0:10Kb 1:10Kb 2:10Kb 3:10Kb 4:10Kb 5:10Kb 6:1Mb
7:10Kb
total-size 1222Kb
Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer
upon failure.
