There's no reason not to use ingress policers if you wish. I would recommend, however, shaping on both the inbound and outbound traffic.
If I'm running a web proxy on the gateway, then I would need ingress policer to limit the download bandwith for web requests.
How will the ingress policer on the WAN interface interact with the other egress htb classes on the LAN interface ?
Ok, I see this and have fixed it.I'm fairly certain that the above is not what you desire. When you specify a "rate" in a class, that class will ALWAYS consume up to that available amount of bandwidth before checking to see if the parent has any bandwidth to lend. So, you will want to change this.
So the wondershaper is wrong ? it doesn't use the ceil values and creates rate values that sum up to a higher value than your ISP bandwidth.
Did you just guess at the ceiling numbers, or did you calculate them using some method?[ snip ] classid 1:1 htb rate 512kbit burst 6k [ snip ] classid 1:10 htb rate 256kbit ceil 512kbit burst 6k prio 1 [ snip ] classid 1:20 htb rate 96kbit ceil 460kbit burst 6k prio 2 [ snip ] classid 1:30 htb rate 96kbit ceil 409kbit burst 6k prio 2
Look at the sum of the rates of the children classes, this is class 1:10 1:20 1:30 $ expr 256 + 96 + 96 448
I don't know if my explanation will help, but check out my description of the HTB model [1]. Be sure to read Martin Devera's description [2], and also consider Stef Coene's documentation [3] and tests [4]. His tests show how bandwidth is distributed/allocated under various conditions--essentially these graphs provide a good way to understand the behaviour of HTB.
Thanks, I didn't realise there was a 'LARTC HOWTO' and a 'Traffic Control HOWTO' The latter is much more useful and the diagrams are very helpful.
