LARTC - Mar 2004 - CBQ weight Prioritizing

Hello people,

I''m curious about the weighting in CBQ, if i have these classes in my
CBQ script, will it work as I expect it to, or are there drawbacks?
I am already using HTB for the moment so don''t tell me to use that,
this is simply something I want to know. =)

tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:10 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 10Mbit
weight 0.3Mbit prio 1 allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000
tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:11 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 10Mbit
weight 0.3Mbit prio 1 allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000
tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:12 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 10Mbit
weight 0.2Mbit prio 1 allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000
tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:13 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 10Mbit
weight 0.1Mbit prio 1 allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000
tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:14 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 10Mbit
weight 0.05Mbit prio 1 allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000
tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:15 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 10Mbit
weight 0.05Mbit prio 1 allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000

I''m allowing all my CBQ classes to use full speed (10Mbit) if they can,
controlled only by my weight ratios,
note that the priority is the same for all, which in effect is what I hope will
make this work.
So the first entry will thus be given a 3 mbit "minimum" speed as I
give it weight ratio 0.3.
I''m trying to get CBQ to behave somewhat more like HTB with this script
with its rate and ceil commands.

Well I''m curious will this actually work as I intend it to?

If you want to see the whole script you''ll find it at
http://christers.mine.nu/~christer
Note that the complete script is also prioritizing by Layer-7 filters so
don''t let that confuse you.

Any advice or comments are appreciated.

Regards, 

Christer Söderlund

I don''t know.  I did some cbq tests myself (the results can be found on
docum.org).  I only know that Devik told me that weight is used to calculate 
some sort of quantum.  That means that weight is only used AFTER each class 
is able to send his rate.  So in your case, that means weight will never be 
used.
