Apologies for my earlier top post and reply to my own post. Just went thro' the tcng documentation. It is indeed far simpler as compared to tc to declare classes, filters, rates etc and also examples include a two rate three colour meter example which is pretty difficult in tc. Reading through it, it also seems to avoid the potential to make mistakes of precedence/ hierarchy easily with tc and wonder why the prescribed traffic is not getting the bandwidth configured. All examples given typically talk of a single tiered configuration which is generally true for most small office LANs. Will need to read through configuration examples to see how a multi-tiered configuration is built. Class declarations, filtering apart, this seems to default to HTB which was a fairly new qdisc in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Seems like it has matured and used in conjunction with SFQ gives good results. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
