Hi!
Is there any way to do just plain vanilla TBF (Token Buck Filter) type
shaping on a group of ips/networks, not an entire interface.
Currently the only way I know how to shape in Linux is to use HTB or CBQ,
but both of these need a total rate and then you need to subdivide that
into classes. That is not what I want. All I want is Cisco generic traffic
shaping style shaping (or similar to how the old shaper module worked), iow
I don''t want to specify how much bandwidth I have, I just want to make
sure
that any particular group never exceeds a given rate.

Not the answer you''re looking for, but why not just specify your total bandwidth being much larger than your interface actually is and then subdividing into your groups?

Hi Mike >@2004.05.31_15:17:21_+0200
I have thought of that, but that is not ideal for a couple of reasons, the
two most important being:
(a) You can''t add 1 leaf node at a time with HTB or CBQ which makes it
rather messy to add large numbers of rules.
(b) I''m not sure what HTB will do if you lie about the total rate. We
have
tried this on various occassions and in all cases HTB just didn''t
work
if you did this - not even the guaranteed rates worked properly.
