Dear Friends, I have tryed to follow the Traffic Control HOWTO to setup a bandwidth limit of 500kbps in a Ethernet 10Mbps LAN. What I did: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 500kbit limit 50kb burst 10kb peakrate 501kbit mtu 6000b Happens that in average I get the correct rate: 500kbps, but unfortunatly, what the token bucket filter does is that some times it sends burts of packets, and other times it waits for a relative long time before sending packets. I believe this is a problem for what I would like to have: I need a token bucket or leaky bucket algorithm that counts packet by packet, how many bytes it is putting on the link. In a really small window, like 10 ms for example. Then: 10ms * 500k = 5000 bits each 10ms or 625 bytes each 10ms This is what would be perfect for me: the algorithm sends at most 625 bytes each 10ms. No burts!!! Reading the HOWTO I had the impression that it is not possible using tc - TBF. Is it right? Does anyone know if this is possible to be achieved? Thanks for your patience and atttention.
