All, Follow up to the problem I reported earlier: > I have been using the following as a means of rate limiting > access to the Internet via eth0 (which connects to my cable > modem) and it was working great with my 2.4.20 kernel: > > tc qdisc del dev eth0 root > tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 1 > tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 486kbit ceil 486kbit > tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10: sfq perturb 10 > > However, after recently updating to kernel version 2.6.15, > throughput on eth0 has become sluggish and it is only by > disabling the above that performance is restored. > > Also, I see a whole slew of the following messages in my log: > > qdisc_restart: Empty queue has non zero length 1 I see negative "tokens" and "ctokens" values listed when I do a "show" on the class of eth0: $ tc -s -d class show dev eth0 class htb 1:1 root leaf 10: prio 0 quantum 6075 rate 486000bit ceil 486000bit burst 2206b/8 mpu 0b overhead 0b cburst 2206b/8 mpu 0b overhead 0b level 0 Sent 614100 bytes 578 pkts (dropped 0, overlimits 0) rate 31312bit 3pps backlog 106p lended: 472 borrowed: 0 giants: 0 tokens: -33271 ctokens: -33271 Are the "tokens" and "ctokens" values ever supposed to be negative? If so, what does the negative value mean (e.g. borrowed or lent tokens?). If not, is this indicative of a problem that is at all familiar to anyone?
