Hello list,
This is my first post, so please forgive me if my ways are wrong, but
this is an important request for help.
I was running kernel 3.9.10 (Fedora-flavored), and for several reasons,
I needed to upgrade to the last version, 3.12.6. Yeah, it was about time.
Anyway, I really don't know how and where to look for an answer on my
problem, and since the kernel is the only thing that changed on this
machine, I suspect there has to be something with it.
I have the feeling that my traffic shaping is not working exactly as
expected anymore. I use it to "regulate" low-throughput (xDSL)
connections, and it was working great until now, but since I upgraded, I
feel that the experience is not as "fluid" as it used to be.
And I was surprised to see the following output :

What worries me is that the "rate" values are always zeroed, even when
under heavy traffic. It's not the case with the older version of the kernel.
So I was wondering if there was something I missed, and needed to update
in my traffic shaping script. Here it is :
---- SNIP ----

${TC} qdisc add dev ${IF} root handle 1: htb default 14

${MAX}kbps prio 0 mtu ${MTU}

${TC} filter add dev ${IF} protocol ip parent 1:0 handle 6 fw classid 1:15
---- SNIP ----
The packet MARKing in iptables is working as expected, as the counters
successfully increase over time.
I'm really stuck, and I need your help.
Happy New Year, and thanks in advance !
Hoggins!
