Hi, My apologies if I've just missed the point here (I have scanned the archives). I have a server with an FTP service on one IP, a HTTP service on the other. I wish to make all the upstream bandwidth available for FTP unless an HTTP request arrives - at which point I want to throttle FTP back and give the majority of the bandwidth to the HTTP session. In order to test this I have the following script (I'm sure I've just missed the point somewhere along the line):- tc qdisc del dev ppp0 root tc qdisc add dev ppp0 root handle 10: cbq bandwidth 10Mbit avpkt 1000 tc class add dev ppp0 parent 10:0 classid 10:1 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate \ 128kbit allot 1514 prio 1 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 tc class add dev ppp0 parent 10:1 classid 10:2 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate \ 10kbit allot 1514 prio 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 tc filter add dev ppp0 parent 10:0 protocol ip pref 60 u32 \ match ip dst 0.0.0.0/0 flowid 10:1 tc filter add dev ppp0 parent 10:0 protocol ip pref 50 u32 \ match ip src my.ftp.server flowid 10:2 As I understand it 10:2 is a child of 10:1. As I have set the priority of 10:2 to 8 and the priority of 10:1 to 1 then a request meeting 10:1 will have a much higher priority and the bandwidth will all be assigned to the 10:1 session and not loan any bandwidth to 10:1. In reality this doesnt work! If I make 10:2 bounded then it throttles back to 10kbs. If I remove bounded it borrows bandwidth from its parent - even at the cost of a 10:1 session. Comments as to :- a) why this doesn't work b) whether this is the best way of handling this problem ....will be greatly appreciated! With thanks, Steve.
