Hello list I have a problem with classifying traffic from two providers, and about 600 users. I have the following situation: P1-\ | linux | --eth0-| box |-eth1 P2-/ | | P1 and P2 are coming from VLANs. I have 4 type traffic which I want to classify. The traffic is divided as follows: P1 - 100mbit from realm 0x70000 10mbit from realm ! 0x70000 P2 - 30mbit from realm 0x80000 1mbit from realm ! 0x80000 For this I use marking by realm with iptables, like this: iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -i eth0.1 -m realm --realm 0x70000 -j MARK --set-mark 0x27 iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -i eth0.2 -m realm --realm 0x80000 -j MARK --set-mark 0x28 iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -i eth0.1 -m realm ! --realm 0x70000 -j MARK --set-mark 0x29 iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -i eth0.2 -m realm ! --realm 0x80000 -j MARK --set-mark 0x2a After this I classify them with: iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -m mark --mark 0x27 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:1 iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -m mark --mark 0x29 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:2 iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -m mark --mark 0x28 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:3 iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -m mark --mark 0x2a -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:4 So far, so good... Both HTB or HFSC are identical and looks like this: tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: htb default ffff tc class add dev eth1 parent 1: classid 1:fffe htb rate 102400kbit ceil 102400kbit tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:fffe classid 1:1 htb rate 97280kbit ceil 97280kbit tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:fffe classid 1:2 htb rate 7168kbit ceil 7168kbit tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:fffe classid 1:3 htb rate 10240kbit ceil 30720kbit tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:fffe classid 1:4 htb rate 1024kbit ceil 1024kbit And then filters per IP are attached for these classes. The same is in the egress and everythung seems to work, but after the applying of classes and filters the delay of ping from class 1:2 is jumping from: time=1.60 ms time=1.65 ms time=1.91 ms time=1.86 ms to: time=986.60 ms time=1110.63 ms time=1240.98 ms time=857.34 ms Please help, I cannot understand where is the mistake. I tryed many ways to classify this traffic but something is wrong... Any help is very appreciated Thanks in advance regards
