Today I setup htb on a system of mine that I needed to control bandwidth
for.
I read the documentation and setup a config that seems to be working
fine.
Unfortunately, there's a problem where randomly for between 1 and a
couple of seconds, almost no packets are sent out, or are delayed
significantly.
This is the output from a script I got from a friend. It does some
simple difference averaging with a 10 second period. Notice the period
of 0.13 Mb/s. That's not supposed to happen.
eth0: 0.04 Mb/s In 1.68 Mb/s Out - 116.3 p/s In 180.7 p/s Out
eth0: 0.04 Mb/s In 1.59 Mb/s Out - 82.1 p/s In 130.4 p/s Out
eth0: 0.04 Mb/s In 1.60 Mb/s Out - 123.1 p/s In 184.8 p/s Out
eth0: 0.01 Mb/s In 0.13 Mb/s Out - 33.3 p/s In 53.9 p/s Out
eth0: 0.05 Mb/s In 1.53 Mb/s Out - 63.2 p/s In 89.6 p/s Out
eth0: 0.05 Mb/s In 1.76 Mb/s Out - 119.4 p/s In 180.9 p/s Out
At the same time I ran a ping to the host as well:

64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.20: icmp_seq=509 ttl=58 time=75.7 ms
I also ran a ping to a host sitting right next to it on the same switch.
It did not see the same increase in latency.
Load on the system was negligble at the time of the "blip".
Also, in my logs was this message:
HTB: mindelay=500, report it please !
Here's the jist of my config:
tc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 12
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb \
rate 2016kbit ceil 2016kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb \

tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:11 handle 21: sfq perturb 10
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:12 handle 22: sfq perturb 10
Anyone have any idea what be causing the "blip"? It's noticable
because
for that period of time, all of my ssh sessions become very slow and
laggy, and then everything speeds up again. In fact, it happened as I
was writing this email too.
