I'm trying to fill a token bucket with enough tokens to burst several gigs of data. However, it doesn't seem to get any higher than ~3.9GB: >tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 1440kbit latency 50ms \ burst 16000000000 >tc qdisc show dev eth0 qdisc tbf 800b: rate 1440Kbit burst 3908420240b lat 2197.8s A smaller attempt of ~1.6 gigs works just fine: >tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 1440kbit latency 50ms \ burst 160000000 >tc qdisc show qdisc tbf 800c: dev eth0 rate 1440Kbit burst 156250Kb lat 48.8ms Is there any way around this? I have a 500GB/month colocation deal. This means I can send a sustained traffic stream of 1440Kbit/s. However, most of my server's traffic will be in bursts. I figured it makes sense to have a 1440Kbit/s stream of tokens going into a TBF with a bucket large enough to hold maybe a few days worth of that stream. I have a 100Mbit connection to the internet, and there will be days when that will be close to maxed out. However, I need to protect myself, as going over 500GB will cost me a fortune in overage charges. So... is there any way I can create a larger bucket? Anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks very much for your help, -Ross Skaliotis _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
