I've done some tests with TC FILTER and his PRIO and think that is an error or OMISION on TC FILTER DOCUMENTATION from: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.qdisc.filters.html#AEN1100 Let's say we have a PRIO qdisc called '10:' which contains three classes, and we want to assign all traffic from and to port 22 to the highest priority band, the filters would be: # tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 10: prio 1 u32 match \ ip dport 22 0xffff flowid 10:1 # tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 10: prio 1 u32 match \ ip sport 80 0xffff flowid 10:1 # tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 10: prio 2 flowid 10:2 What does this say? It says: attach to eth0, node 10: a priority 1 u32 filter that matches on IP destination port 22 *exactly* and send it to band 10:1. And it then repeats the same for source port 80. The last command says that anything unmatched so far should go to band 10:2, the next-highest priority. Well... with this I understand that LOWER PRIO = HIGHER PRIO. and by default TC FILTER PRIO = 0 then: default TC FILTER prio is HIGHEST PRIO. ERROR !!!!!!! HIGHEST TC FILTER PRIO is 1 and LOWEST TC FILTER PRIO is 0 !! example see this script in order to share 64k internet upload link on 3 customers. but linux router has a FTP server. and I want to classify 1:3 FTP traffic to linux server: # initialize DEV="imq0" CUSTOMER_A_IP="172.16.10.10" CUSTOMER_B_IP="172.16.10.11" CUSTOMER_C_IP="172.16.10.12" FTP_SERVER="172.16.10.254" MODPROBE="/sbin/modprobe" IP="/sbin/ip" TC="/sbin/tc" FW="/sbin/iptables" $MODPROBE imq $IP l s dev imq0 up $TC qdisc del root dev $DEV 2> /dev/null > /dev/null $TC qdisc add dev $DEV handle 1: root htb echo "************** MAIN HTB CLASSes ***************" $TC class add dev $DEV parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 64kbit quantum 1500 $TC class add dev $DEV parent 1: classid 1:3 htb rate 10240kbit $TC qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:3 handle 3: sfq perturb 10 $TC class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 64kbit quantum 1500 echo "************** MARK PACKETS and IMQ ***************" $FW -t mangle -F $FW -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -j IMQ --todev 0 $FW -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 20 -d $FTP_SERVER -j MARK --set-mark 40 $FW -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 21 -d $FTP_SERVER -j MARK --set-mark 40 # HERE, I must put "prio 1" in order to process this rule BEFORE others TC FILTERs $TC filter add dev $DEV parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 1 handle 40 fw flowid 1:3 # FILTRO FAST_PIPE echo "************** CUSTOMERS ***************" $TC class add dev $DEV parent 1:10 classid 1:1000 htb rate 21kbit ceil 64kbit quantum 1500 $TC qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:1000 handle 1000: sfq perturb 10 $TC filter add dev $DEV protocol ip parent 1:0 u32 match ip src $CUSTOMER_A_IP flowid 1:1000 $TC class add dev $DEV parent 1:10 classid 1:1010 htb rate 21kbit ceil 64kbit quantum 1500 $TC qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:1010 handle 1010: sfq perturb 10 $TC filter add dev $DEV protocol ip parent 1:0 u32 match ip src $CUSTOMER_B_IP flowid 1:1010 $TC class add dev $DEV parent 1:10 classid 1:1020 htb rate 21kbit ceil 64kbit quantum 1500 $TC qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:1020 handle 1020: sfq perturb 10 $TC filter add dev $DEV protocol ip parent 1:0 u32 match ip src $CUSTOMER_C_IP flowid 1:1020 run this script and under shell type: root:/scripts# tc -s -d filter ls dev imq0 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 1 fw filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 1 fw handle 0x28 classid 1:3 PREF 1 = PRIO 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 PREF 49151 = PRIO 0 !! then PRIO 0 has low prio that PRIO 1. filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 802: ht divisor 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 802::800 order 2048 key ht 802 bkt 0 flowid 1:1020 match ac100a0c/ffffffff at 12 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 801: ht divisor 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 801::800 order 2048 key ht 801 bkt 0 flowid 1:1010 match ac100a0b/ffffffff at 12 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:1000 match ac100a0a/ffffffff at 12 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 802: ht divisor 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 802::800 order 2048 key ht 802 bkt 0 flowid 1:1020 match ac100a0c/ffffffff at 12 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 801: ht divisor 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 801::800 order 2048 key ht 801 bkt 0 flowid 1:1010 match ac100a0b/ffffffff at 12 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49151 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:1000 match ac100a0a/ffffffff at 12 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49152 u32 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49152 u32 fh 802: ht divisor 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49152 u32 fh 802::800 order 2048 key ht 802 bkt 0 flowid 1:1020 match ac100a0c/ffffffff at 12 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49152 u32 fh 801: ht divisor 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49152 u32 fh 801::800 order 2048 key ht 801 bkt 0 flowid 1:1010 match ac100a0b/ffffffff at 12 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49152 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 49152 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:1000 match ac100a0a/ffffffff at 12 Andres. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
