Hello ladies and gentlemen. I hope you might be able to help me with my very strange problem. I have a very typical setup - a LAN masquerading behind a Linux box. This linux box has HTB going. It works surprisingly well for outbound traffic (low latency stuff is low, pings are low, everything is great) but there's some strange behavior with downloads. Let me explain. I have a bunch of streams going at a high port. Lets say their combined downstream bandwidth is 20kbyte/s. When I remove the QoS, the bandwidth shoots up considerably - to about 80kbyte/s. If I leave QoS on, but only enable _one_ stream, the downstream bandwidth is similarly increased. I do not have any sort of inbound bandwidth shaping. I've also tried to prioritize ACKs above everything else. That didn't seem to change anything. The multiple-stream downloads are slow regardless of whether the upstream bandwidth is fully utilized. The class that contains the ACKs is never being used close to capacity. I'm completely stumped. Hopefully you guys can spot something strange in the script below. The service in question runs on ports 47504-47654. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------- # http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.fullnat.intro.html export CEIL=374 # initial setup tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 15 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate ${CEIL}kbit ceil ${CEIL}kbit tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 128kbit ceil ${CEIL}kbit prio 0 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:11 htb rate 120kbit ceil ${CEIL}kbit prio 1 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:12 htb rate 20kbit ceil ${CEIL}kbit prio 2 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:13 htb rate 20kbit ceil ${CEIL}kbit prio 2 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:14 htb rate 10kbit ceil ${CEIL}kbit prio 3 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:15 htb rate 52kbit ceil ${CEIL}kbit prio 3 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:16 htb rate 24kbit ceil ${CEIL}kbit prio 4 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:12 handle 120: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:13 handle 130: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:14 handle 140: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:15 handle 150: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:16 handle 160: sfq perturb 10 # classify packets tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 1 handle 1 fw classid 1:10 tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 2 handle 2 fw classid 1:11 tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 3 handle 3 fw classid 1:12 tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 4 handle 4 fw classid 1:13 tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 5 handle 5 fw classid 1:14 tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 6 handle 6 fw classid 1:15 tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 7 handle 7 fw classid 1:16 # mark packets for CHAIN in PREROUTING OUTPUT;
