-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings Bob, : I've been trying to read up, and still not coming up with : concrete info on queue sizes. Right now, my code for limiting to : 300k is: : : tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 21 : tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 300kbit : tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb prio 0 rate 100kbit : tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:21 htb prio 1 rate 100kbit ceil 300k : : ..with some matches for prioritizing other traffic into class : 1:20. : : I assume there is something I need to add to the first line, but : everything I've read about never mentions htb. Here are pointers to HTB documentation that I have written [0], and, of course, the author's own documentation [1]. Stef Coene, who used to be extraordinarily active on this list has some useful (if not currently maintained) documentation at [2]. See also Leonardo Balliache's thorough examination of traffic control under Linux [3]. As I see it, your problem is not that you haven't found the right HTB setting, but rather that you haven't embedded a (b)FIFO in the right place. Try adding a fifo of the appropriate size (in bytes) to the class which is handling your bursty traffic. This FIFO will hold your queued packets while HTB dequeues them at the ceil rate. Trial and error will probably help you determine the optimal depth of the FIFO for your purposes. tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:21 bfifo limit 256000 Best of luck, - -Martin [0] [1] http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/ [2] http://www.docum.org/docum.org/ [3] http://www.opalsoft.net/qos/DS-28.htm - -- Martin A.
