LARTC - May 2005 - Ingress rate

Hello

I''m doing some qdisc programming and
I want to get/read the current ingress rate from a kernel module

I was wondering what is the most convenient of achieving this

My idea is to load the ingress qdisc and the police filter if necessary.
and modify the source to export a structure or function so I can read the 
ingress rate.

How does this sound?

Is there a simpler way?


With regards
R.Harper

good afternoon,

I am a newbie to tc.

i want to set qdisc to pfifo_fast, using the command below:
% tc qdisc add dev eth0 root pfifo_fast
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

why am i getting this error message?

thanx.

What for? I''ts already there - it''s the default qdisc when
there''s no other
assigned. So to set eth0 qdisc to pfifo_fast you just need to (as root of 
course)
#tc qdisc del root dev eth0

check with
#tc qdisc show dev eth0

the problem is after i delete the qdisc, and check again, there is nothing
being displayed. Is this correct?

#tc qdisc del root dev eth0

#tc qdisc show dev eth0

tc qdisc show dev eth0 returns:

qdisc pfifo_fast 0: bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

If you see anything else, then I''d say you have a problem.

 Older versions of the iproute2 tools didn''t know anything about
pfifo_fast,
it would even core dump sometimes. This was one of the first bugs I fixed
about a year ago
