From where the cbq classes borrow bandwith? (parent or sibling) If the parent is rate at 50kbit the leaf classes should not get more bandwith than the parent? Why does the classes (with root class as parent) borrow bandwith beyond the rate set when cqb is created? CBQ on 10Mbit Ethernet 2 clasess 25kbit on each borrow and sharing both When I create the cqb qdisc it create a root class with the handle 10:0 I set the root class to rate at 50kbit Then I create to classes whith 10:0 as the parent Both classes borrow bandwith beyond the 50kbits tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 10:0 cbq bandwidth 10mbit avpkt 1000 cell 8 rate 50kbit tc class add dev eth0 parent 10:0 classid 10:10 cbq bandwidth 10mbit rate 25kbit allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 sharing borrow tc class add dev eth0 parent 10:0 classid 10:11 cbq bandwidth 10mbit rate 25kbitallot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 sharing borrow I did a workaround by creating an extra class with root class as parent and isolated,bounded But I don't like to have extra classes just becuse I can control root class. tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 10:0 cbq bandwidth 10mbit avpkt 1000 cell 8 tc class add dev eth0 parent 10:0 classid 10:1 cbq bandwidth 10mbit rate 50kbit allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 isolated bounded tc class add dev eth0 parent 10:1 classid 10:10 cbq bandwidth 10mbit rate 25kbit allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 sharing borrow tc class add dev eth0 parent 10:1 classid 10:11 cbq bandwidth 10mbit rate 25kbitallot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 sharing borrow
