Stephen, Perhaps it is time to fix iproute2 interpretation of kbit/mbit/gbit.
Currently, they are interpreted as powers of 2 (i.e. 10mbit = 10*1024*1024), which is absolutely incorrect when dealing with networking, as line speeds are always interpreted in decimal. Example: 10Mbit ethernet is 10 000 000 bits/second. Someone who may be trying to rate-limit outbound traffic is bound for a surprise when tc's 10mbit does not match physical line characteristic. Other examples: 28k modem is 28000 bit/s, 56k is 56000, OC-3 SONET (155Mbit) is 155000000 bit/s, etc. There isn't a technology that is quoted with kbits meaning 1024bit/s. -alex On Tue, 8 Jun 2004, Stephen Hemminger wrote: > A new version of the iproute2 utilities is available to handle the new > extensions for 2.6.7. > * Based on the last known good version of iproute2 from Alexy > * Included most of the vendor patches (except for the stupid ones). > * Got rid of lots of the glibc workarounds, I intend this to build > and run on 2.6 (and 2.4) only. > * Fixed some parsing and formatting bugs. > * Added gigabit as a rate. > * Added HTB and delay scheduler > * Added support for new tcp_info extensions to ss > > The website is: > http://developer.osdl.org/dev/iproute2 > and the download is in: > http://developer.osdl.org/dev/iproute2/download > > This version builds with 2.6.7 as the kernel include files, so either have > the files in /usr/include/linux up to date or modify the top level Makefile > to point to a kernel build.
