hi all i'm pretty new to tc and have not understand a lot of the whole stuff ... but pleas help me! i tried to use the 'The Ultimate Traffic Conditioner' - cbq version - as it is in 'Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO' chapter 15. the uplink part i think is working but the download is not working: the connection to the internet seems to be broken (i can't ping any computer). i changed the filter in the download part to only one ip-address (from 0.0.0.0/0 to 130.59.10.30) to test the filter on this ip-address. the download part of the script is now --- form 'The Ultimate Traffic Conditioner:' DOWNLINK=250 DEV=eth1 tc qdisc del dev $DEV ingress 2> /dev/null > /dev/null ######### downlink ############# # slow downloads down to somewhat less than the real speed to prevent # queuing at our ISP. Tune to see how high you can set it. # ISPs tend to have *huge* queues to make sure big downloads are fast # # attach ingress policer: tc qdisc add dev $DEV handle ffff: ingress # filter *everything* to it (0.0.0.0/0), drop everything that's # coming in too fast: tc filter add dev $DEV parent ffff: protocol ip prio 50 u32 match ip src \ 130.59.10.30 police rete ${DOWNLINK}kbit burst 10k drop flowid :1 -- with this setup i can ping all ip-addresses without 130.59.10.30. from the tcpdum i get this information (altair is the computer where tc is running): -- output of tcpdump -i eth1 19:16:10.525629 altair.ethz.ch > 130.59.10.30: icmp: echo request (DF) 19:16:10.561771 130.59.10.30 > altair.ethz.ch: icmp: echo reply (DF) 19:16:11.525697 altair.ethz.ch > 130.59.10.30: icmp: echo request (DF) 19:16:11.560400 130.59.10.30 > altair.ethz.ch: icmp: echo reply (DF) -- so i think the ping can't pass the above filter. if i comment the 'tc filter add...' out, everything is working fine (but the buffer at my ISP is growing and growing :( ). so, do i do something wrong or is this a bug in this script ore elsewhere? thanks for your help oliver ps: some more information about my setup - on altair there is also running NAT (but the tc-stuff is also not working without NAT) - i use a adsl-modem attached to eth1 - altair:~# tc -V tc utility, iproute2-ss010824 _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
