Re: [gentoo-user] Rate limiting TCP connections...
Norberto Bensa wrote: Nope. fixed rate limiting is not the answer. You need QoS at the router level, but if it doesn't support it, you'll need to change how your Linux box talks and listen to internet packages. That's what I said -more or less- on my first reply. I'm a believer in doing things the easiest way... and while I can see that manually specifying limits on bandwidth use from Linux on an explicit address-range basis would work - it is not an appealing approach. Let's make an experiment: 1. Terminate all downloads and activity on the internet. 2. Restart your bind (so it flushes its cache) 3. in XP1 download something huge (an ISO image) from one souce in the internet and wait 'til it is at full speed (does it go up to 0.5Mb??) 4. in XP2 start to ping different sources. Does XP2 lost packets? If I do my downloading from XP (using Linux as my nameserver) everything works perfectly. My downloads max-out my ADSL connection - and not only can I ping other hosts concurrently, but I can surf the web and bandwidth is shared fairly between competing applications. My router is a Netgear Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - it seems pretty common... and I've not found other people moaning that it has problems... For me, it only has problems when accessed from my Linux box.

Is there a way to get top to make sense, or are there other tools you good people would recommend ? Let the kernel do what it does best - scheduling. You stay away from this as this is the one thing you do worst. Unless you have some weird workload it is highly unlikely that you will even remotely approach the kernel's choices for scheduler efficiency, much less better them. The kernel is designed to give every process a fair shot at running, this is a process that requires millions of decisions a second. The reason that top's output does not add up is that top (plus free and most of the contents of /proc as well) is basically lying through it's teeth. All these tools read the various files in /proc to get their data. By the time top has read the last file it wants, the ones before it have changed many thousands of times over. So basically you get a snapshot view of what the system is averaging, and you are not interested in the exact number you see on the screen (because you can't trust it), but you are interested in the general trend over time (as you can trust that) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Being on the bleeding edge, that means erring on the side of caution, or else you never know whether you have hit a system bottleneck or a bug in the software :-) . mplayer kept saying my system was too slow, while the cpu was idling at 20%. Turns out top was correct in that instance, mplayer was misinterpreting input data, trying to play back at half the intended frame-rate. Now I'm past that hurdle and adding deinterlacing and other filters. I'll just have to hold back on the temptation to go all out on the filter options :-) Thanks for keeping me from wasting any more time with top though.

I'm having a problem getting X to work. It is seg faulting on me, and despite countless revdep-rebuilds and emerge -e world, it still doesn't work. It dies after the cursor shows up, spitting this backtrace and output. Sorry if the formatting sucks. The last line is probably refering to the fact I tried to run it from within screen, so if that could cause a problem say so, and tell me how the heck to get a log of this output (since startx log.txt doesn't work) #--- startx output ---# X Window System Version 1.3.0 Release Date: 19 April 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3 Build Operating System: UNKNOWN Current Operating System: Linux localhost 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 1 21:56:38 CDT 2008 x86_64 Build Date: 22 July 2008 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
