Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. I removed the ceil parameters as a troubleshooting
process to ensure that they weren't what was causing the excess of the
configured rate. From what I can see if the ceil parameter is not specified it
defaults to the same figure as the rate parameter. I have verified this by
running "tc -s -d class list dev eth0". The output from this command also
shows that the rate limited classes have not borrowed at all (see below). I
have tried what you suggested anyway and it is still exceeding the configured
rate. The output below was generated on the server immediately after the
completion of the iperf tests. Another thing that doesn't make sense to me is
that all but one of the classes are reported to have been lending but which
class are they lending to? None of the classes have been recorded as borrowing.
