Re: how do you rate limit routable traffic without rate limiting LAN protocols like arps and igmp?

Hi Michael,

It appears that local, non-routable traffic like arps and igmp are being
snared by this and end-up queued in the lowest priorty queue. I was
surprised that non-IP traffic would be effected by IP traffic control.
How are you determining this?

All the literature I've seen only covers tc filters dealing with the
protocol IP. I've tried to filter on the arp protocol (I read this
works, but not for me), got error messages:

Yes, linux QoS can't shape sub-IP ARP packets. See the thread " tc filter protocol arp question" from January this year: http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/2004q1/thread.html
