Hello.
I am wondering if the default (auto-computed) burst and cburst parameters are
appropriate values for my application.
I have a 100 mbit interface which is connected to a 16 mbit uplink.
I am sharing this bandwidth into a set of partitions (tc classes) defined as
follows:
root class [1:1]
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
|
| | |
|
| | |
|
default [1:10] part-1 [1:20] part-2 [1:30]
part-3 [1:40]
My script (without filter statements) follows:
[root@mercury ~]# cat tc.sh
#!/bin/bash
# reset
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
# root qdisc
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 10
# root class
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 16mbit
# default partition
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 1mbit ceil 16mbit
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:10 handle 10: sfq perturb 10
# partition-1
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb rate 1mbit ceil 1mbit
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:20 handle 20: sfq perturb 10
# partition-2
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:30 htb rate 256kbit ceil 256kbit
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:30 handle 30: sfq perturb 10
# partition-3
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:40 htb rate 128kbit ceil 128kbit
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:40 handle 40: sfq perturb 10
A sample from tc -s show class dev eth0 is:
[root@mercury ~]# tc -s class show dev eth0

I am also graphing the ''Sent'' bytes value as reported above
and I noticed that the classes usually exceed the configured rates slightly.
Can be be improved by tuning the burst and/or cburst values?
Note that MTU is set to 1500 bytes.
Regards,
Charles
