Hi, first of all thanks for all your help. I`m using a bridge and I want to assign the lan (with public routable ips) only 512Kbits (The internet link is 1Mbit). What i thought was creating a class with a ceil of 512Kbit an applying a filter to it with the entire net (1.2.3.0/24). This approach didn´t work for me(the ceil was bypassed). Should I use policing instead? These are the commands I used: tc qdisc del dev eth0 root tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1 htb default 10 r2q 5 tc qdisc del dev eth1 root tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1 htb default 10 r2q 5 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:2 htb rate 512Kbit tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:2 classid 1:30 htb rate 448Kbit ceil 512Kbit tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:30 handle 30 sfq perturb 10 tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 100 u32 match ip src 1.2.3.0/24 classid 1:30 tc class add dev eth1 parent 1: classid 1:2 htb rate 512Kbit tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:2 classid 1:30 htb rate 448Kbit ceil 512Kbit tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:30 handle 30 sfq perturb 10 tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 100 u32 match ip dst 1.2.3.0/24 classid 1:30 _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
