Hi all :) I''m new to this list, as I''m new too to traffic shaping ;) I''ve set up an FTP server in my ADSL line and I wanted it to serve as fast as possible as long as I don''t use my outgoing ADSL bandwidth, and I''m currently using HTB for that (succesfully, I must add). The problem is (when the FTP server is serving higher than its

Hi all :) If I set the burst/cburst parameter to, let''s say, 1500, the command "tc -s -d class show dev eth0" says that the value is 1499b/8 instead of the (correct?) 1500b/8. Is this right or am I doing anything wrong? Many thanks in advance :) Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net http://www.pleyades.net

I visited yesican.chsoft.biz and the author proposes a way to match packets by less than some size . Here is the thing: match u16 0x0000 0xffb0 at 2 With this match he says that packet with less than 80 bytes will match the rule. Well, 0xffb0 translates to 1111 1111 1011 0000 (which is -80 BTW). So, if I am correct any packet with bits 4 and/or 5 set (together with any of the 4

Hello all, I got this problem while trying to shape traffic with iptables MARK and HTB. MARK: targinfosize 8 != 4 --set-mark gives "invalid argument" error message. Kernel version is 2.4.29 (some patches from patch o matic applied) Iptables version 1.3.4 Intel x86 architecture. I saw this problem discussed in a few places, but the discussions didn''t come to a conclusion

Hi all :) I think that this issue has already been discussed on this list, but google didn''t find anything interesting, so I''m bringing the subject again. The output of "tc" uses "b" meaning "byte" and "bit" for "bit". The "official" suffixes for those units are "B" and "b", respectively,

Hi All How to classify packets belonging to a FTP session? Port 21 session is easy. but what about data transfers? Their port numbers (both) are above 1024. I was thinking about ip_conntrack_ftp. Something like: iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport 1024: \ -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j CLASSIFY --set-class X:Y But what if I also have ip_conntrack_irc, for instance.

Hi all :) I''ve been using a tc setup for almost two years, but at some point (probably when I switched to kernel 2.6.x, but I''m not sure) it has started making something very weird. For a certain class, the rate is 125000bit and the ceil is 270000bit, but the fastest rate I get is about 75-80000bit, instead of the "promised" 125000, *with no other traffic in

Hello to everybody, We want integrate in a router/firewall (Debian Based, 2.6 Kernel), an HTB shaper. The goal is to divide the traffic for classes of workstations, at example in three classes, let say A, B and C. Example: A 70 Mb/s B 20 Mb/s C 10 Mb/s If B don''t make traffic, 7/8 of 20Mb/s must be assigned to A and all the rest at B We have used CBQ and HTB, with poor succes. Anybody

Hi all :) I''ve tested this and having a cpufreq that slows down the CPU affects the rate of HTB. My ondemand cpufreq governor scales down the CPU frequency about 40% and this is more or less the slowdown the rate suffers, 40%. Any known way of dealing with this without having to disable cpufreq? Thanks in advance :) Ra?l N??ez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered

Hello, after spending several hours reading archives, I decided to write new post. I successfully set up packet classification, made some basic HTB setup, made some simple graphical representation from HTB statistics data... BUT, I cannot figure out how to refine HTB to get this behaviour: I need that class "p2p" should be the last one to get some link capacity. If I set both RATE

I have found a few bugs in tc, and have produced patches for them. Two require changes to tc, one to the kernel. Where should I post these patches? -- Regards, Russell Stuart

Hi, all: I''m involved in the study about the QoS,but have some problems , hope someone could help me answer: 1. Why most traffic shaping implement in the egress side (Uplink) rather than the ingress side(Dnlink)?(e.g. why put the police rule on the smaller bandwidth side but not put on the larger side) 2. I can''t differ the functionalities exactly

With the below script, whenever I ping 10.0.16.10 (which matches the only filter I have), traffic still get''s sent to the default 1:2 class instead of 1:1 and I don''t know why... Any hints?

Andreas, Since I understand your ASCII art and comments, I would very much appreciate it if you would draw what you see and criticize the following. Hopefully I''ll better understand after that!

Hi, I have a Debian based NAT router. How can I manage upstream egress bandwidth based on the LAN ipadress in the network below? My goal is that host1 get a minumum of 10Mbit up/down and host2 gets a minimum of 90Mbit up/down, both max 100Mbit up/down? targethost 172.16.255.254 | | 172.16.0.1 natrouter

Hi all :)) This matches what I want: tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 9 u32\ match ip sport 0x3000 0xf000 flowid 1:22 and traffic goes to 1:22, but this one doesn''t match: tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 9 u32\ match tcp src 0x3000 0xf000 flowid 1:22 I don''t understand why the first one matches and the

Hi all :)) Sorry for asking again, but got no answers and google doesn''t give useful information (seems like "nexthdr" doesn''t work right, but I don''t know why...). I really want to know what am I doing wrong... This filter matches what I want: tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 9 u32\ match ip sport 0x3000 0xf000

Hi there! I''ve using HTB for a while and now I an faced with a ''problem''. How hierarchical is HTB? Let''s say I have this 3 layer HTB setup: root class 1: (rate=100, ceil=100) 1: children classes 1:10 (30,100) and 1:20 (70,100) 1:10 children classes 1:100 (10,100) and 1:101 (20,100) 1:20 children classes 1:200 (30,100) and 1:201 (70,100) I managed to have

I am trying to do ingress flow control with htb + imq, and as could be expected it isn''t working well. It works a lot better when I keep the htb ceiling well below what the link can actually carry - I guess because htb gets to throttle the TCP fast start before it causes packets to be dropped. The only problem is wasting all that bandwidth hurts. It occurred to me that the bandwidth

Hi,lartc I used iproute-060110 with iptables1.3.4 on gentoo 2005r1 kernel 2.6.14-5. I find some error messages in system logfile: HTB: quantum of class 10001 is big. Consider r2q change.
