Currently, two policies are -defined: the "simple" policy (DCCPQ_POLICY_SIMPLE), which does nothing special, -and a priority-based variant (DCCPQ_POLICY_PRIO).

A zero -value is always interpreted as unbounded queue length. If different from zero, -the interpretation of this parameter depends on the current dequeuing policy -(see above): the "simple" policy will enforce a fixed queue size by returning -EAGAIN, whereas the "prio" policy enforces a fixed queue length by dropping the -lowest-priority packet first.
