Hi!
I'm trying to limit the uplink bandwidth using htb but no packets are
overlimit or dropped. :-(
My router config:
* Linux kernel 2.4.20-pre10 (htb v3.7) with everything built as
modules in QoS, iptables in use.
* tc binary from htb3.6-020525.tgz
* external interface eth0: Internet access, 512 kbit/s uplink speed
* internal interface eth1: internal LAN, 100 Mbit/s
The hosts in the internal lan should be bandwidth limited and are
masqueraded by the router.
Q: Must the versions of the kernel module and the tc utility match?
Below are my commands to create the qdiscs and classes:
tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: htb default 20
tc class add dev eth1 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 64kbit ceil 64kbit burst 5k
tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 64kbit ceil 64kbit burst 5k
tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb rate 57kbit ceil 64kbit burst 5k
tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:30 htb rate 51kbit ceil 64kbit burst 5k
tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:40 htb rate 6kbit burst 0
tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:10 handle 10: sfq perturb 10
tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:20 handle 20: sfq perturb 10
tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:30 handle 30: sfq perturb 10
tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:40 handle 40: sfq perturb 10
Notes:
* No errors from the tc utility
* All filters are scrapped for testing purposes, leaving only
unclassified packets which go the default class (this works)
* Bandwidths are really low for testing
* There are four classes with 100%, 90%, 80% and 10% bandwidth
Next I tried an FTP upload from a machine on the internal LAN to the
internet, creating the following qdisc and class statistics:
qdisc sfq 40: quantum 1514b perturb 10sec

Well, everything goes to the default class 1:20 which is OK.
However, the traffic is *not* limited! No packets overlimit or dropped!
The FTP upload succeeded with full uplink speed (512 kbit/s).
Q: What am I missing here? Why isn't the traffic limited by HTB?
I've read the LARTC Howto, the required manpages, the docs at Martin
Devera's Homepage and had a look at the Wondershaper. Unfortunately I'm
still unable to find the bug. :-( Any hints would be appreciated!
Thanks, Walter
PS: I've also tried using filters u32 and fwmark but traffic was
never limited. I guess there is something wrong with my
class/qdisc setup in general, right?
