Hello. I have a 1024/256kbit ADSL and tried to shape outgoing traffic in order to improve latency. Here is my config. UPLOAD_RATE="256" UPRATE="$[4*$UPLOAD_RATE/5]" (a little smaller) UP70="$[7*$UPRATE/10]kbit" UP30="$[3*$UPRATE/10]kbit" UP20="$[2*$UPRATE/10]kbit" UPRATE="${UPRATE}kbit" IF="eth2" IPTABLES="iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING " (Initialize) tc qdisc del dev $IF root >& /dev/null iptables -t mangle -F (Root qdisc / class) tc qdisc add dev $IF root handle 1: htb default 20 tc class add dev $IF parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 100mbit (class for lan traffic) tc class add dev $IF parent 1:1 classid 1:100 htb rate 100mbit quantum 100000 (parent class for adsl traffic) tc class add dev $IF parent 1:1 classid 1:3 htb rate $UPRATE (different classes) tc class add dev $IF parent 1:3 classid 1:70 htb rate $UP70 ceil $UPRATE prio 1 tc class add dev $IF parent 1:3 classid 1:30 htb rate $UP30 ceil $UPRATE prio 2 quantum 1200 tc class add dev $IF parent 1:3 classid 1:20 htb rate $UP20 ceil $UPRATE prio 3 quantum 1200 (queues) tc qdisc add dev $IF parent 1:100 handle 100: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev $IF parent 1:70 handle 70: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev $IF parent 1:30 handle 30: sfq perturb 10 tc qdisc add dev $IF parent 1:20 handle 20: sfq perturb 10 (filters) tc filter add dev $IF parent 1:0 protocol ip handle 100 fw classid 1:100 tc filter add dev $IF parent 1:0 prio 1 protocol ip handle 7 fw classid 1:70 tc filter add dev $IF parent 1:0 prio 2 protocol ip handle 3 fw classid 1:30 tc filter add dev $IF parent 1:0 prio 3 protocol ip handle 2 fw classid 1:20 (Mark packets) (Interactive class (70%)) $IPTABLES -p icmp -j MARK --set-mark 7 $IPTABLES -p icmp -j RETURN $IPTABLES -p tcp --dport 22 -j MARK --set-mark 7 $IPTABLES -p tcp --dport 22 -j RETURN $IPTABLES -p tcp --dport 6667 -j MARK --set-mark 7 $IPTABLES -p tcp --dport 6667 -j RETURN $IPTABLES -p tcp --dport 53 -j MARK --set-mark 7 $IPTABLES -p tcp --dport 53 -j RETURN $IPTABLES -p udp --dport 53 -j MARK --set-mark 7 $IPTABLES -p udp --dport 53 -j RETURN (30% Class) $IPTABLES -p tcp -m multiport --dport 20,21,25,80,443,995 -j MARK --set-mark 3 $IPTABLES -p tcp -m multiport --dport 20,21,25,80,443,995 -j RETURN (Lan class) $IPTABLES -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j MARK --set-mark 100 $IPTABLES -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j RETURN (anything else) $IPTABLES -j MARK --set-mark 2 (I changed the default "quantum" values because i got messages "HTB: quantum of class 10001 is big/small. Consider r2q change." but my tc didn't accept r2q as a parameter.) I have tested that different packets get different marks (with iptables -v -t mangle -L) and also that they go to the different classes (with tc -s -d class show dev eth2) so i guess my rules are correct. However, i put a large file to download in order to test and during the download i get 1500-2500ms ping times. Should the icmp packets not be of greater priority than the ftp packets ? Is there something wrong with my script ? Thank you for your time. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
