Hi, I have been playing with the Linux advanced traffic management and have a few questions. I have been working with a Pentium based PC with two ethernet ports. Traffic received on the first port is sent to the sec= ond port, on which CBQ is configured. I am using the Redhat 7.2 distribution with Kernel 2.4.7 1. If I create a bounded, isolated class (1:1) below the root qdisc (1:0)= and set its rate (i.e. for class 1:1) to 50Mbits/sec, the actual traffic rate observed is significantly different from the configured value. Measu= rements were made over an interval of 15 sec to 1 minute. The bandwidth parameter= of the root qdisc was set to 100Mbit/sec. Why is this happening and has anyone else encountered this behaviour? 2. The Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO says that one canno= t shape a flow above 1Mbit/sec accurately because the scheduling tick is 10= millisec. Is there a way to get around this to accurately shape higher ra= te flows? 3. Is anyone working on any other hierarchical queuing disciplines beyond= CBQ and HTB? If so where can I find out more about this? Thanks, - Udayan
