similar to: bandwidth limitation help

Dear friends, thanks for the last advices about TBF. After reading the tbf.pdf document I got a better insight of the problems I had trying to limit the bandwith on my testbed with a high resolution. The question I have now is: Would I get an immediatly better resolution result if I change the #define HZ to 1000 for my Linux box? I have a Pentium Celeron 700 MHz, and I would like to see the tbf

There is an design problem with the qdisc interface that causes qlen related bugs in netem, tbf, and other qdisc''s that peek at the top of the queue. The problem is that requeue needs to be called from the dequeue function but requeue can fail. If requeue fails, then the calling qdisc can not properly handle the error. If it returns NULL, then the parent''s expectation about qlen

Hello, I am attempting to use the LARTC traffic control to simulate a radio link that has variable bandwidth and availability. The basic bandwidth could be as low as 500 bits/sec but will generally be about 4000 bits/sec. If the simulated radio link is unavailable (zero bandwidth) then packets should be queued until a link is re-established. i.e. Initial bandwidth is 5000bits/sec then to 0

I''m trying to simulate a satellite link to a Linux server to test application performance. I haven''t used any of the tc stuff before, but I blandly assured people it would be "easy" to set up a simulated long thin pipe on a spare network interface. However, now that I''m exploring, it''s proving quite difficult. Let me start with the general question

Hi, I am using netem to add loss and then adding another qdisc within netem according to the wiki. Then i want to change the netem drop probability without having to delete the qdisc and recreate it. I try it but I get invalid argument: thorium-ini hedpe # tc qdisc add dev ath0 root handle 1:0 netem drop 1% thorium-ini hedpe # tc qdisc add dev ath0 parent 1:1 handle 10: xcp capacity 54Mbit

Thanks in advance! Summary: when I load netem and teql together, teql doesn''t work correctly. (If I load teql only, everything is fine) I loaded both netem and teql. Netem is associated with eth0, and teql is associated with both eth0 and eth1. But traffic only goes out of eth1. Attached are the commands that I used to configure teql and netem (on machine 1), and commands to

I''m trying to setup a netem delay with no luck (using iproute2-2.6.8, compilation broke during arpd compile, so I use the tc binary in the tc/ subdir, there''s also a q_netem.so there). kernel is 2.6.8.1, compile with CPU cycle counter as time reference. I was using sch_delay of 2.6.7 happily with something like: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root 1: delay latency 1ms rate 35M now I use:

Hi! We want to run TCP streams to several port numbers through one interface, each with a different delay set by Netem. E.g. TCP streams to port 80 could have 50ms delay, while TCP streams to port 81 could have 100 ms delay and so on. We have tried to solve this by using a combination of tc filter and netem rules, but we can''t get it quite right. We are considering one class per port,

Hi all, I''m running some tests with netem and I noticed some strange behaviour that looks like a bug: I''m pinging another machine and adding delay with netem. When I tell netem to give me a 10ms delay, it works fine. The problem is that when I ask for a 11ms delay, it gives me 20ms! It happens for any value between 11ms an 20ms, and it repeats for values over 20ms, now

Hello, I was attempting to throttle egress traffic to a specific rate using a tbf. As a starting point I used an example from the LARTC howto, which goes: tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 220kbit latency 50ms burst 1540 I then attempt a large fetch from another machine via wget (~40 megs) and the rate was clamped down to about 12Kbytes/s. As this seemed too much, I gradually increased

Hi, I am new to kernel programming. My task is to route packets from different hosts through one single token bucket filter as we are trying to model a wireless scenario with many hosts communicating and sharing the same bandwidth.So the idea we came up with was to route packets from different hosts to user space using Netfilter and then send them through a common tbf implemented in user space in

Hi all, I am currently trying to emulate a satellite link, via Netem, on a testbed which is OSPF-enabled. I''d like to set up a Netem box between two routers. Since all routing between routers is dynamic, I''m wondering how to set up OSPF on my Netem box? Could someone indicate me if it is feasible and give me some guidelines to possibly do so? Thanks in advance, Vincent.

Hello. Sorry for my poor english =) I have following config for traffic prioritization: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10: tbf rate 7000kbit buffer 1600 latency 2msec tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:2 handle 20: sfq tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:3 handle 30: tbf rate 3000kbit buffer 1600 latency 50msec tc qdisc add dev eth1 root

Hello everybody, I''m trying to set up netem on a SuSE box (kernel 2.6.16), but I''m having some weird problems, considering that on my Gentoo laptop (kernel 2.6.17) it worked fine. If I write: # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 20ms loss 20% and then try pinging another machine over eth0, I get a 24ms delay but no packet loss (while on my laptop I get 21ms and a correct

I''m just-so-fresh to the list, so hello everyone. I''m having a realy hard time with setting up very simple bandwidth management. What I am trying to do is setup a 10Mbit interface to send at only 1920kbit to most of the network (to make sure it hardly ever tops 2mbit). I did succeed with the ingress traffic... With egress however, I get very odd results at different speeds. With

I''m trying to fill a token bucket with enough tokens to burst several gigs of data. However, it doesn''t seem to get any higher than ~3.9GB: >tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 1440kbit latency 50ms \ burst 16000000000 >tc qdisc show dev eth0 qdisc tbf 800b: rate 1440Kbit burst 3908420240b lat 2197.8s A smaller attempt of ~1.6 gigs works just fine: >tc qdisc

Hi, I have a cable modem with a bandwidth capped upload rate. I''d like to prioritize packets going outbound according to the TOS header of the IP field. I''ve read through the LARTC Howto several times, and I think I have a good feel for the information it it. It also seems that what I''m trying to do is pretty straight-forward and common. Unfortunately, the HOWTO

Hello, I am trying to get the TC command to work on our debian box to limit traffic in and out to 12 Meg. The command I am using is: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 12000kbit latency 25ms burst 1600 tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 12000kbit latency 25ms burst 1600 The problem I am having is that the bandwidth exceeds the 12 Meg by almost 5 Meg. Any help is appreciated.

I''m trying to build a wan latency test environment, where packets from different "remote" locations get delayed by different amounts of time, depending on which remote location we''re pretending they are from. Currently, I''m doing this using the ''prio'' qdisc to obtain multiple bands, and hanging a different netem qdisc off each of the branches
