I have a router with only one physical ethernet cable. I know it''s stupid, but it is the network I have to use for a demo. I have in mind to construct an HTB class tree for some network limitations for the outgoing traffic. The question is: can i use the HTB class mechanism on 2 subinterfaces of the same physical network card without any interference? Please let me know as soon as possible. I need to know if I start working on this or I have to change the hardware. Thank you, Marius _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc

It does work for other virtual interfaces like pppX (when it''s really PPPoE going over some ethX interface).> Please let me know as soon as possible.

Like this: HTB Qdisc eth0 | \--- HTB root class (100mbit) | \--- HTB eth0:0 class (50mbit | 100mbit) | | | \--- The tree you wanted to put on eth0:0 goes here \--- HTB eth0:1 class (50mbit | 100mbit) | \--- The tree you wanted to put on eth0:1 goes here HTH Andreas
Hey Marius, u can only run the qdisc per interface, so if u have "tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30" it will be applied to eth0:0 , eth0:1 aliases as well U can shape on the one interface, your iptables commands must just be very specific. hope it helps J Marius Corici wrote:> I have a router with only one physical ethernet cable.
