In linux kernel since version 3.1 (release Date: 2011-10-24)
This queuing discipline allows userspace to plug/unplug a network
output queue, using the netlink interface. When it receives an
enqueue command it inserts a plug into the outbound queue that
causes following packets to enqueue until a dequeue command arrives
over netlink, causing the plug to be removed and resuming the normal
packet flow.
This module also provides a generic "network output buffering"
functionality (aka output commit), wherein upon arrival of a dequeue
command, only packets up to the first plug are released for delivery.
The Remus HA project uses this module to enable speculative execution
of virtual machines by allowing the generated network output to be rolled
back if needed.

Say Y here if you are using this kernel for Xen dom0 and
want to protect Xen guests with Remus.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sch_plug.
