Suppose you need to limit the rate of the traffic that flows in an HTB leaf class to 32kbits/sec I can think of three ways to do it: 1. make rate = ceil = 32kbit when creating this HTB leaf class. A pfifo qdisc can then be attached to this HTB leaf class to reduce the queue size, and therefore reduce the latency of the packets. 2. Attach a TBF qdisc to this HTB leaf class, and configure it properly. 3. Have a policing filter before the HTB leaf class that will limit the rate of the traffic before it enters the HTB leaf class. Which one of these methods is the best? My tests have shown that the latency of the packets is dramatically better with method 3. Anybody has an idea why this is the case? -- Mathieu Deziel _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
