after reading the new howto i wanted to rewrite my QoS-script, now that most parameters lost their mysteriousness. while rewriting i gave some classes new classid's which led to 'RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument'. i decided to try the sample from the howto first, but got the same problem: Sample configuration This configuration limits webserver traffic to 5mbit and smtp traffic to 3 mbit, and limits the sum to 5mbit: [...] # tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 10: cbq bandwidth 100Mbit \ rate 5Mbit weight 0.5Mbit prio 5 allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 \ avpkt 1000 bounded the above leads to an Invalid argument. it seems that tc doesnt like the classid 10: (at least the error disappears if i change it to e.g. 1:2). have i done something wrong or is it an error in the example? this problem leads me also to the next question: is the naming of classes essential for building them correctly? is parent 1:1 classid 10:0 somehow different from parent 1:1 classid 1:2? up to now i thought classid was only a name and the parent would be enough to make the classes' positions in the tree unambiguously... regards, Patrick
