Hi everyone, and thanks for your help so far. I have been playing around with tc and htb for a couple of weeks now, and while I am nowhere near understanding everything here, I am beginning to know more about packets than I ever wanted to know. I have two university buildings with a 1mb connection to the Internet. The two buildings (on either side of town) are connected through a tunnel using their internet connection, so that the administration can use the database across town. They have to share the connection with all the students on both sides, and the traffic the teachers create. So the people in admin have a hard time connecting to their database. What I have done so far is to create two leaves 1:10 and 1:20 and filtered the traffic going to the database on the far end. What the admin there would like is, that the connection is fully available for everyone, until the secretary wants to look something up on the database. Then it should have top prority and all the other traffic should virtually stop. I managed to apply the filters and have the packets ending up in the right leaf. But the results are far from satisfactory. #!/bin/bash tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: htb default 30 tc class add dev eth1 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 96mbit burst 15k tc class add dev eth1 parent 1: classid 1:7 htb rate 128kbps burst 15k tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 96mbit burst 15k tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:7 classid 1:20 htb rate 127kbps ceil 128kbps burst 15k prio 0 tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:7 classid 1:30 htb rate 1kbps ceil 128kbps burst 1k prio 2 tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:10 handle 10: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:20 handle 20: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:30 handle 30: sfq perturb 10 U32="tc filter add dev eth1 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 1 u32" $U32 match ip src xx.xx.xx.xx/26 flowid 1:10 $U32 match ip dst 10.190.19.0/28 match ip sport 19813 0xffff flowid 1:20 Only if I lower the ceiling on leaf 1:30 does it show any results. If I have the ceiling the same on both, there is no measureable result in speed. The both seem to share the connection equally. Am I missing the point, is it possible at all, or am I just too dum to get it right? Thanks a lot, .peter _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
