Hey,
Does anyone have an idea on how to police incoming bandwidth
to my server/workstation, in addition to outgoing. I have
a rule set like this so far that does well to limit my
outbound traffic, but what could I add to this that would
limit my inbound traffic to $LIMIT as well, ideally both
inbound & outbound sharing the same $LIMIT say 200kbit.
LIMIT=200kbit
HOSTIP=NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN
start () {
tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: cbq avpkt 1000 bandwidth 10mbit
tc class add dev eth1 parent 1: classid 1:1 cbq rate $LIMIT allot 1500 prio 5 bounded isolated
tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 16 u32 match ip src $HOSTIP flowid 1:1
tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:1 sfq perturb 10
}
The reason I want this is to be able to limit my bandwidth
to what I pay for at my colocation facility, & I only have
one server/host machine there, no router.
I have read the docs about policing bandwidth with little
help, and it seems that when I try to reference the ingress
rules, I get a kernel error, maybe its not compiled into my
stock 7.2 redhat by default? It sounded like ingress rules
might be related to policing, if so I am out of luck.
The FreeBSD dummynet/ipfw implementation seem to handle this
just fine out of the box, so I suspect this functionality
is lurking in the tc rules, but have not found any online
docs that seem to know how to clearly do it.
Thanks for any clarification you might have on this.
Regards,
Josh
