Hi,
I’m trying to set up a Diffserv test bed and having a few problems. Bellow is the summary
Experiment:
Diffserv Test Bed.
Aim:
To validate that expedited forwarding per-hop-behaviors is able to provide a guaranteed bandwidth together with a very small delay and jitter even in a highly congested network.
Environment:
5 Work stations
Fore ground and background and receiver workstation: PIII
Core and Edge routers: PII, 128 Megs
All installed with Red Hat8, kernel 2.4.18.-14
QoS modules are configured as modules
Network layout:
Please see attached diagram
Traffic generation using Iperf sending to 2 different ports on the receiver work station, 5001 and 4000. Priority traffic is marked with the value of 0xb8 using Iperf
Scripts:
Following scripts are running on the Core and Edge router.
#!/bin/sh
#
# Diffserv Core device: EF using CBQ
# Clear the existing qdisc configuration
tc qdisc del dev eth1 root
# Attach DSMARK qdisc to root and copy TOS byte into skb->tc_index
tc qdisc add dev eth1 handle 1:0 root dsmark indices 64 set_tc_index
# Add filter to root to mask out ECN bits and
# Extract the DSCP field by shifting to the right two bits
# ________
# TOS / /\
# 0xb8 -> | 10111000

# \/vvvvvv DSCP

Problem:
When enable the Diffserv by running the corresponding tc scripts on Edge and Core router, it appeared that there was very high packet lost and no bandwidth guarantee has taken place.
Checked:
Compiled tc with Diffserv enabled
Used the kernel with #define PSCHED_CLOCK_SOURCE PSCHED_CPU in linux/include/net/sched/pkt_sched.h
Used the kernel with #define Hz 1500 in linux/include/asm/param.h
Your help is greatly appreciated.
