Hey folks, I stumbled across the Mastershaper project ( http://www.mastershaper.org/ ) but I have a little problem: I wanted to shape the traffic coming from the router itself aswell as coming from the LAN behind the router, for that task I need IMQ, but with IMQ iptables-(layer7)-matching is not possible. Now I''ve talked with the programmer and he said the following: >The problem is

Hi, I''m looking for info about IFB devices and how I can use it to incomming traffic shapping. Has IFB any web about it? Do any body known where I can find more info about it? I found this: http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/IFB But I can''t stand fine how to use it to allow many ifb''s devices or how to use it with "tc actions". Any help? Thanks --

Hi all, Further to my previous questions, I need lots of IFBs on this thing. I have configured IFB as a module, and issuing a modprobe ifb loads it, but only gives me 2 IFBs (ifb0 and ifb1). How can I get more? I''m probably looking at needing about 20 on this project. Regards, Leigh Leigh Sharpe Network Systems Engineer Pacific Wireless Ph +61 3 9584 8966 Mob 0408 009

Hello, I am doing some tests in my local network to test a GRE tunnel configuration. I can established a tunnel but if I stop send packets trough the tunnel , the tunnel goes down. I need to make ping from one side of the tunnel to the another side to wake up the tunnel. What could be my problem ?? Could be the VirtualBox ?? Thank you!

Hi, 1. We have 20+ VLANs behind shorewall firewall. We would like to distribute the Internet bandwidth to different VLANs having minimumm, typical and maximum values based on IP ranges after NAT e.g., 172.17.4.0/24. What rules need to be created to do so? 2. We also would like to time the access of internet of some of the VLANs, i.e., 172.17.4.0/24 should be allowed to access the internet only

ESFQ''s original hashing algorithm never worked particularly well for the src or dst hash types: close IP addresses, such as 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 often hashed to the same number, even with many different perturbation values. This prevented the src and dst hash types from working adequately with small and medium-sized network ranges. A while ago, I added the src_direct and dst_direct hash

Hi all. I''m using Jamal''s ifb virtual interface from new kernel. Redirecting incoming traffic from external interface like that: # tc [blahbla] match u32 0 0 flowid 1:0 action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0 to ifb to shape it. The problem is that I''m using MASQUERADE by netfilter also. That redirected traffic coming from internet gets to ifb _before_ DNAT is done.

Hi, I''m trying to activate IFB device support in a 2.6.17 kernel from Debian Sid. I read that IFB device is the replacement for IMQ device, but I haven''t found any useful documentantion on how to activate this feature and the kernel documentation lacks of this information. I remember that IMQ could be activated in the ''Network devices'' menu in 2.6.8 kernels,

Hello Tom! After i read and analyze some docs about IFB i decide that for implement this feature in Shorewall not need more efforts (of course i may be wrong). If we have 'ifb0' device then we must activate ingress discipline on real device (f.e. eth2) and redirect 'egress' from it to 'ifb0'. tc qdisc add dev eth2 ingress tc filter add dev eth2 parent ffff: protocol ip

Hello I''m trying to switch from IMQ to IFB but I have a problem with traffic marked by ipp2p module. Looks like when traffic is redirected from ethX to ifbX it looses information about MARK. Here''s what I do to get ingress traffic to go to ifb interface: $TC qdisc add dev eth1.42 ingress $TC filter add dev eth1.42 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 10 u32 \ match u32 0 0

Hello! My goal is to setup an ingress traffic shaping on my PPPOE DSL line with ifb. My old imq stuff used iptables marks (like ''iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp --sport 22 -m length --length :500 -j MARK --set-mark 31'') to classify the traffic and since i am lazy, i tried to to reuse them with ifb. But no luck: iptables marks the packets well, but tc

Is IFB realy replacement of IMQ Please Guide -- Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc

Hello, It seems on RHEL/CentOS 5.2 iproute package is version 2.6.18, which apparently do not support IFB properly. The end result is that while no error is given, counters on ifb0 do not update, and capturing on the interface turns out nothing. Simply replacing tc with one from 2.6.26 solves this issue, it seems... Best regards -- Haim Gelfenbeyn Hagel Technologies Ltd.

I''m experiencing a problem with masquerade downloads saturating my internet connection. I''ve implemented an IFB and now am looking into flow keys. Although I''ve read the documentation, I''m not sure I have this right. Can someone help? /etc/shorewall/params: MID_IF=eth0 MID_IF_TC=1 INET1_IF=eth1 INET1_IF_TC=2 INET1_IFB_IF=ifb0 INET1_IFB_TC=3 Note: MID_IF

How to use IFB as replacement of IMQ There is not much documentation about it Please explain with example -- Failure seldom stops you.

Hi everybody. I would like to know how incoming ipsec packets (from eth0 for example) interact with ifb device. For example: I want to redirect all incoming packets from eth0 to ifb0 for shaping. What happens to esp and the relative clear packets? By default both are seeing on the incoming device.

hello, i have eth0 (Internet) + eth1,eth2 (local), how to i use IFB in real for shaping Download, how to i redirect traffic from eth0 to ifb0 with "mark". I testing marking with iptables but any mark not working - always use "default" mark... thanks _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl

Hello What I''m looking for is how to configure the Linux QoS module to do global rate limitation for two (or more) 802.1q pseudo network devices. I naturally suppose there is a possibility with IFB. I don''t want to use IMQ because it''s not integrated to my kernel v2.6.21.1 and I didn''t find IMQ patches for it nor for the iptables package I use (v1.3.7).

Hello, The shorewall version is shorewall-3.0.7-1 installed in Centos 5.1 (kernal 2.6.18-53.el5) on March.
