My Email reader was full of crap like <br>. I create what I call an interactive class. I have a "T1" radio connection to the internet, so my upload rate is 1500kbit which I strangle to 1350 (90%). The interactive class has a rate of 200kbit, ceil of 1350kbit and prio 1 so it can borrow from all other classes (but it never needs to; I should find out how low rate can go but I haven't had time to do that). I set this up as 1:10 but I don't think the classid really matters (although I'm not sure). The rate, ceil, prio and burst do matter. Quantum is there because that lets me set any rate I want without having htb complain about r2q and because it is correct for ethernet. > Or just by setting the parameters > 'quantum 1514', 'prio #' and 'burst #k' is enough to do it inside > whatever traffic runs through 1:20?. Not if I understand what you are asking. You need a class that has nothing going through it except really important traffic (SSH and ACK for me), so you do not want anything else in it. I do not use esfq on this either. All my other classes use esfq (which is why I maintain it for 2.4 kernels). If I had two classes and I was going to create an interactive one, I'd steal a bit of bandwith from each of the other two, making sure they are set up to lend. It does not take much just for ACK. > In case you assign one whole htb class for ACK packets,if i am not > using priority bands (just ensuring VoIP´s QoS) is it so simple as > asignate them a low bandwidth (1Kb) and higher priority? Almost. Along with low bandwidth you need a big ceiling and the HIGHEST priority so it can borrow when necessary. But since the packets are small, you don't need a big burst. For VoIP, you need to try to keep it's class from lending when there is traffic and you sure don't want (e)sfq because that reorders the packets, which likely will disrupt your conversation. If everything is prio 0 (no prio specified), you can't be sure which class will lend spare bandwidth first. > Thanks a lot. > > -Diego You're welcome if this helps, otherwise you don't need to thank me ;) -- gypsy > gypsy escribió: > > > Diego Cabrero wrote: > > > > > >> Hello everyone: > >> As it is known, when you limit uplink bandwidth it usually gets > >> downlink > >> bandwidth to a lower value. > >> I just want to know what is the optimal configuration for eth1 and > >> imq0 > >> according to some variables of tc(HTB), txqueuelen, mtu, etc. to > >> make > >> these packet flows less independent on an ethernet based network. > >> > >> Thank you in advance. > >> > >> -Diego > >> > >> > > Diego, > > > > Since nobody else answered this, I'll give it a try. > > > > I accelerate all small packets on the egress side because this sends > > the > > ACK packets ASAP.
