Hello: I posted this question to the LARTC mailing list and apparently nobody on that list has used tc to control traffic to VMs. I am hoping someone on this list has used it before and can help me. I have a CentOS 6 server running two virtual machines using KVM. Each machine has its own virtual device since I am using bridged networking. I am trying to allocate bandwidth to each virtual machine. I have these rules set up: /sbin/tc qdisc add dev v1262 ingress handle ffff: /sbin/tc filter add dev v1262 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 50 u32 match ip src 0.0.0.0/0 police rate 5mbit burst 500k mtu 3100 drop flowid :1 /sbin/tc qdisc add dev v1263 ingress handle ffff: /sbin/tc filter add dev v1263 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 50 u32 match ip src 0.0.0.0/0 police rate 5mbit burst 500k mtu 3100 drop flowid :1 You can see them when I do a qdisc ls: qdisc ingress ffff: dev v1262 parent ffff:fff1 ---------------- qdisc ingress ffff: dev v1263 parent ffff:fff1 ---------------- The problem is when v1262 is doing a large upload, v1263 gets starved. If I remove the ingress qdisc, v1263 runs at full speed regardless of what v1262 is doing. It's as if the two devices are using the same queue. I did not think that would happen since they are totally separate devices. Has anyone been able to limit traffic separately to individual VMs?
