As it says in rfc8260#section-3.5 about the fair capacity scheduler:
A fair capacity distribution between the streams is used. This
scheduler considers the lengths of the messages of each stream and
schedules them in a specific way to maintain an equal capacity for
all streams. The details are implementation dependent. interleaving
user messages allows for a better realization of the fair capacity
usage.
This patch adds Fair Capacity Scheduler based on the foundations added
by commit 5bbbbe32a4 ("sctp: introduce stream scheduler foundations"):
A fc_list and a fc_length are added into struct sctp_stream_out_ext and
a fc_list is added into struct sctp_stream. In .enqueue, when there are
chunks enqueued into a stream, this stream will be linked into stream->
fc_list by its fc_list ordered by its fc_length. In .dequeue, it always
picks up the 1st skb from stream->fc_list. In .dequeue_done, fc_length
is increased by chunk's len and update its location in stream->fc_list
according to the its new fc_length.
Note that when the new fc_length overflows in .dequeue_done, instead of
resetting all fc_lengths to 0, we only reduced them by U32_MAX / 4 to
avoid a moment of imbalance in the scheduling, as Marcelo suggested.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
