The manual says (about prio): > Because it doesn't actually shape, the same warning as for SFQ holds: > either use it only if your physical link is really full or wrap it > inside a classful qdisc that does shape. The latter holds for almost all > cable modems and DSL devices. I want to wrap prio inside of tbf. Here's why: I have a server on a DSL line, which has both hobby and business websites. I want to make it so that, if the bandwidth starts to get saturated, the hobby sites will slow down, while the business sites will not be affected. In other words, I want to limit the total bandwidth to 700kbit (the max upload is 768kbit on the modem) with tbf, but have a priority queue so that the business site can take all available bandwidth if it's being used. The two sets of sites are on different IP's, so I can either filter by IP or set the TOS flags with iptables. I'm using kernel 2.4.18, so htb doesn't work (although it looks like it might be good) and I also can't seem to get cbq to work (it accepts the commands, but nothing changes, the bandwidth isn't being limited). I'm running tests on a spare server so I can try things without messing up the production server. Here's what I was trying with cbq: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1:0 cbq bandwidth 100Mbit avpkt 64 cell 8 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 cbq bandwidth 100Mbit rate 5kbit weight .5kbit prio 8 allot 1514 cell 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 bounded I'd rather not compile a custom kernel because this is a production server, and I'm using the latest one available for Debian (with security patches) 2.4.18-686. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Keep in mind I'm new at this (never heard of tc before yesterday). Thanks. --- Moose _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
