hello everyone, when i am using two NICs in my machine, one connected to the testclient and the other to the LAN/internet, everything is working fine about limiting throughput speed using tc. i have the upstream controlled on the one interface and the downstream on the other. basically, i have a script that sets up a root class, three different classes, applies the queue management rules (using SFQ and the option "bounded"), and filters packets based on fwmark. for testing i simply mark everything using iptables. now the problem: i need to do bandwidth control on a single-arm router using only one NIC. the script remains the same except half of the statements omitted, since there is only one interface left. when i do tc -s qdisc, i can watch packets going through the right class, but the rate does not take effect. traffic gets as fast as the contacted server can send (approx. 3MByte/s). actually, i am surprised by this behaviour, that i don't understand at all. :) can anyone help me finding a reason for / explanation of this effect? any hint, advice or solution is welcome. thanx, ulric ulrich schwarz, computing center, university of ulm, germany _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
