After I remove a filter, I seem to be loosing my "parents" class shaping rules that will return a filter to default after removing just the filter or both. Sorry, this is hard to say. I create a Class, give it a default Class and one "special" Class with a "C"class filter. Then I remove that "special" IP filter then class. Should that IP, that is within the "C" class range, be reduced to the parent''s default Class rate? I will try to map the question... ---------------------------------------- $TC qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 0 r2q 100 ---------------------------------------- # Default $TC class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:0 htb rate 100Mbit ---------------------------------------- # 10.10.0.0/16 $TC class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:10 htb rate 100Mbit quantum 1500 $TC filter add dev eth0 pref 1 parent 1: protocol ip u32 flowid 1:10 match ip dst 10.10.0.0/16 $TC qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:10 handle 10: htb default 0 r2q 100 ---------------------------------------- # Default $TC class add dev eth0 parent 10: classid 10:0 htb rate 100Mbit quantum 1500 ---------------------------------------- # 10.10.3.0/24 - Test $TC class add dev eth0 parent 10: classid 10:3 htb rate 100Mbit quantum 1500 $TC filter add dev eth0 pref 1 parent 10: protocol ip u32 flowid 10:3 match ip dst 10.10.3.0/24 $TC qdisc add dev eth0 parent 10:3 handle 103: htb rate 100Mbit r2q 100 ---------------------------------------- # Default $TC class add dev eth0 parent 103: classid 103:0 htb rate 40Kbit quantum 1500 ---------------------------------------- # Special $TC class add dev eth0 parent 103: classid 103:2 htb rate 768Kbit quantum 1500 $TC filter add dev eth0 pref 1 parent 103: protocol ip u32 flowid 103:2 match ip dst 10.10.3.199/32 ---------------------------------------- Everything works fine until I remove the bottom filter. Then that IP goes back 2 default classes. Now if I rebuild the entire thing again, and leave out the "special" class identifier, it works. 10.10.3.199 only gets the 40Kbit. ----------------------- Colin Vander Veen IMNisp Senior Engineer http://www.imnisp.net/ -----------------------
