Hi, I have a question regarding the token bucket filter queuing in the TC package. I'm trying to shape a bursty traffic to make it conferment to the EF requirements in terms of rate and burst size. The traffic, as I said, is bursty and its burst size is 11 packets (Video server output running on microsoft platform) and it has an average rate of 1Mbit per sec. The catch is , the microsoft application sends very large datagram size >1500B to the ip stack to be fragmented and what I see on the wire is 10 fragments plus the first packet. I want to shape this stream using TC to an output of an ave. rate of 1MB and burst size of 2 packets (without any dropping) I have tried several ways of doing that the script shown below does the shaping ok but for packet less than the Ethernet MTU. if I start to have fragments everything is missed up. I tried it with pings givinig different packet size in the command line. ANy help is very much appreciated. #! /bin/sh TC=tc IP=ip DEVICE=eth0 BANDWIDTH="bandwidth 10Mbit" #Delete all QDISC $TC qdisc del dev $DEVICE parent 1:2 $TC qdisc del dev $DEVICE root # Attach CBQ on $DEVICE. It will have handle 1:. # $BANDWIDTH is real $DEVICE bandwidth (10Mbit). # avpkt is average packet size. # mpu is minimal packet size. $TC qdisc add dev $DEVICE root handle 1: cbq cell 8 \ $BANDWIDTH avpkt 1500 mpu 64 # Create root class with classid 1:1.

Any Idea is welcome... Thanks Wael - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
