I have a Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.6.11) server. Several months ago, I made a traffic shaping setup for my box (running a 2.4 kernel then) that worked beautifully. It gave high priority to SSH and RealAudio traffic, and put HTTP downloading traffic on a lower prio so they could only use what bandwidth was left.
However, I've only just realized that tc is no longer accepting the commands I setup in a script to start it. I don't know when it stopped working.
I can post the tcng script if anyone wants to see how I generated my tc commands, but I suspect it may not be relevant since tc is bombing out so early in the process. Here's what I get:
------------------------------------------------------------
tc -s qdisc show dev eth0
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Sent 455120063 bytes 553706 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 25)
rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 25
tc -s class show dev eth0
tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle 1:0 root dsmark indices 8 default_index 0
That works for me using the latest iproute2 and 2.6.12-rc1 I think you just hit unlucky with your version/kernel and it's been fixed now.
