-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings Deepak, : Can we create TC rules for an interface alias? Sadly, no, it is not possible. : /sbin/ifconfig eth0 add ip.ad.dr.ss netmask m.a.s.k up : : tc qdisc show dev eth0:0 The traffic control structures apply (more or less) to link layer devices, since you are changing the queueing mechanism(s) for packets/frames just before they get dequeued to the hardware, so the only devices available to you (for traffic control) are the devices which show up when you type: ip link show It may be instructive for you to also try typing: ip address show This will provide you a more accurate presentation of the separation of link layer (L2) devices and network layer (L3) interfaces and addresses. You will then see what a sham ifconfig's aliases are. : Last command throws error "can't find device". Is there any way : to define tc rules on alias or is it simply a limitation? So, basically, if you wish to apply some sort of traffic control to a secondary (aliased) address, then you'll need to include the IP in your "tc filter" rules. Best of luck! - -Martin - -- Martin A.
