Question on "Task" in click #452

Open ramanvis opened 4 years ago

ramanvis commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I was reading through the thesis document: https://read.seas.harvard.edu/~kohler/pubs/phdthesis.pdf

I had a question in page 21, section "2.6 cpu scheduling" and line 4 in the following sentence "Thus, elements are Click’s unit of CPU scheduling as well as its unit of packet processing."

Should this be "Thus, tasks are Click’s unit of CPU scheduling as well as its unit of packet processing."? Reason being most elements are never on the task queue. Only some exclusive elements would be on the task Q.

Could you kindly correct me if my understanding is incorrect?

Regards, Raman
