Latency problem with traffic shaping (ipfw/dummynet)
On this subject, I have one of my own... I have a
6.016Mbps/608kbps ADSL connection with 8 static IP's from my ISP. I'm
using the FreeBSD box to basically limit my upstream bandwidth to 480kbps
so that the downloads would work while uploading. In my kernel, I do have
the following options:
options IPFIREWALL #firewall
options IPDIVERT#divert sockets
options DUMMYNET
options BRIDGE
options HZ=1000
options NMBCLUSTERS=65536
The 8 IP's I'm using is 208.204.244.224-231 on a /24 block with
the gateway on the other side at my ISP being 208.204.244.1. The FreeBSD
machine is 208.204.244.224 and I do have gateway ip forwarding enabled. My
problem is that while as far as speeds are concerned, it's working
correctly on both the .224 (FreeBSD box) as well as the .225-.231 boxes
behind it. The issue is that tracerouting from any box other than the
FreeBSD box shows latencies of 1000+ms after the FreeBSD router beginning
with hop 2 when the upstream pipe is being used while the FreeBSD box
shows the latency at 40-50ms which is correct under traffic load. Anyone
knows what's causing this or is this the way it's supposed to work? All
the machines are pointing to .224 (FreeBSD box) as the gateway. All local
traffic doesn't go through dummynet's queues. This is how I have ipfw
configured.

cannot comment on the reason for the huge delay (but one

The delay only seems to be coming from machines behind the FreeBSD
box and not the FreeBSD box itself since every box has static IP's, only
the outgoing is via the FreeBSD box but the downstream is direct from the
modem through the switch and then the machines directly.

the above configuration means that if queue 1 is getting a bandwidth
X, then queue 2 will get 0.99X, queue 3 will get 0.98X, queue
4 will get 0.97X. Hardly matching any reasonable definition of high-mid-low
priority!
Hmm, I think I did it that way because 100 is the largest number
and I didn't decide on how many queues I may add later so the numbers will
change but does the weight number really mean 99%, 98%, 97% priority? So
should it really be 66, 33, and 1?

I've tried adding the following to the kernel config, building and installing the kernel options VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX=(768*1048576) options VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE=2 as well as adding vm.kmem_size=429391872 to /boot/loader.conf to the without the above options and they both panic right after this part: CPU: Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.60GHz (2592.36-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = GenuineIntel Id = 0xf29 Stepping = 9 Features=0xbfebf9ffFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,P AT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE real memory = 2147360768 (2047 MB) avail memory = 2095669248 (1998 MB) with something having to do with vm_kern.c. Just an update, fixed the problem.

Whatever rule you have for shaping, you condition it on from 10.0.0.224/28 (or whatever the appropriate mask is). Or use the negation of the condition and have a special case for non-capped traffic (so internet traffic falls through to the next rule). That's the part where it becomes difficult since even though I have 8 IP's, it's still on a /24 mask so only the 8 IP's in that /24 are actually local.

Thanks. You need to handle the ack packets specially in your rules, it will not reserve bandwidth for them unless you tell it to. With ipfw, there are two ways to do this. Again I'm only talking about packets leaving your computer and heading to the internet (so condition the rules appropriately) 1. two pipes, one with static allocation (say 95% of bw, or whatever works for you), other can have unlimited bw. Non-ack packets go to the capped pipe, ack packets go to the other one. alternatively, 2. one pipe (unlimited bw), two queues in that pipe, one queue has a much much higher weight. Non-ack packets go to one pipe (low weight), ack packets to the other. This approach actually lets you use the entire available bandwidth for either kind of traffic if there is no other demand for it. It also frees you from having to specify the maximum bandwidth, which can change when you, say, upgrade your DSL, or even take the laptop to a wifi cafe. The second approach does seem to work better since basically, it prioritizes the ack portion. I guess ipfw is something I have to figure out. :) Cheers, Vince - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Vice President __ Unix Networking Operations - FreeBSD-Real Unix for Free / / / / | / |[__ ] WurldLink Corporation / / / / | / | __] ] San Francisco - Honolulu - Hong Kong / / / / / |/ / | __] ] HongKong Stars/Gravis UltraSound Mailing Lists Admin /_/_/_/_/|___/|_|[] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - oahu.DAL.NET Hawaii's DALnet IRC Network Server Admin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED

I don't have a direct answer to this question, but a bit of information: Last weekend I bought a couple of 802.11b/g wireless routers (AirLink, I think). These boxes contain an access point, a four-port Ethernet switch and an additional downlink Ethernet port. They're intended as cable or ADSL gateways, accessed by the downlink port. You can configure the downlink port to access the other networks by NAT or directly, and you can run a mini-firewall if you want. It can also function as a DHCP server. These boxes cost me $80 at Fry's, the same price as a basic 802.11b access point. This weekend I went back to Fry's looking for Atheros-based wireless cards. The cheapest I could find cost $100. Based on that, it's not clear why you would want to build an AP from a wireless card. Greg I think the reason is probably because the other reason to go all Atheros is because it supports the SuperA/G as well which allows 108Mbps raw data or 90Mbps active throughput and that's only possible with Atheros but the routers so far that has Atheros are the D-Link DI-774 and the Netgear FWAG114 and they are atleast $230 each. For PCMCIA and Desktop cards, the Netgear A+G or D-Link A+G has the Atheros inside.

So, I then take it the MBR supplies the entry-point for FreeBSD to boot from (which will be considered the root partition), so that booting of a spare slice would require an edit in the MBR (which I am not too keen on doing, btw). No, you would not have to mount it. Assuming you had the FreeBSD Boot Manager on the drives... Ok. But this still means that, in order to restore the root partition, I will need to boot from a different drive, right? And I have no other, bootable drive in the machine: just the array. I had hoped that booting from the FreeBSD boot CD would have the same effect as booting from a different hard disk; but alas, the FreeBSD boot CD mounts the existing array, which brings me back to square one. Yeah, basically you just need to get FreeBSD booted up so that you can use the dump/restore commands. Which, of course, prompts the question: is there not a way to boot from the FreeBSD boot CD that does not use the existing array? No idea about that one since you can always boot using the root/mfs and fixit floppies and then mount/dump/restore.

The switching cables or even replacing the original drive with the second drive is really only if the main drive dies or if you wanted to use a different drive like greater capacity, faster, etc or you didn't like the brandname of the drive for some reason. Thanks, Vincent. But what if I just made a boo-boo on the root partition? My quandary has always been that I know of no way to restore the / slice on the existing disk-set (RAID-1). I can boot off the CD, but then I am still stuck on the same / slice. Although I have not yet messed up / to the point of having to do a full restore, this might well be needed at some point (an extended power-outage, for instance, ruining the file-system). Well, if you made a error on the root partition, this assumes you did not mirror your errors to the backup drive... Then all you have to do is boot using the backup drive from the Boot Manager. Would it work if I mounted a spare partition, on the same array, restore the root partition therein, and then edited /etc/fstab accordingly?

It doesn't go back to the first drive because you're not using the kernel from the first drive at all. The first drive won't even be visible until you mount it since your /, /usr, /var will all be from the second HDD now. That was the reason I told you to edit the /etc/fstab for the second HDD which is really /mnt/root/etc/fstab when you are booting off the first HDD. When you boot off the second HD, the first drive is really not even used til you mount it.

Re: Ghost for FreeBSD
g4u doesn't work too well as I don't have another ftp server locally other then the FreeBSD machine itself. I already figured out how to do it and a better way that can be done via cron automatically... 12.3.1 Using sysinstall(8) Navigating Sysinstall You may use /stand/sysinstall to partition and label a new disk using its easy to use menus. Either login as user root or use the su command. Run /stand/sysinstall and enter the Configure menu. Within the FreeBSD Configuration Menu, scroll down and select the Fdisk option. fdisk Partition Editor Once inside fdisk, we can type A to use the entire disk for FreeBSD. When asked if you want to ``remain cooperative with any future possible operating systems'', answer YES. Write the changes to the disk using W. Now exit the FDISK editor by typing q. Next you will be asked about the Master Boot Record. Since you are adding a disk to an already running system, choose None. Disk Label Editor Next, you need to exit sysinstall and start it again. Follow the directions above, although this time choose the Label option. This will enter the Disk Label Editor. This is where you will create the traditional BSD partitions. A disk can have up to eight partitions, labeled a-h. A few of the partition labels have special uses. The a partition is used for the root partition (/). Thus only your system disk (e.g, the disk you boot from) should have an a partition. The b partition is used for swap partitions, and you may have many disks with swap partitions. The c partition addresses the entire disk in dedicated mode, or the entire FreeBSD slice in slice mode. The other partitions are for general use. sysinstall's Label editor favors the e partition for non-root, non-swap partitions. Within the Label editor, create a single file system by typing C. When prompted if this will be a FS (file system) or swap, choose FS and type in a mount point (e.g, /mnt). When adding a disk in post-install mode, sysinstall will not create entries in /etc/fstab for you, so the mount point you specify is not important. In this stage, specify / for the mountpoint to get the a partition and then change the mountpoint to /mnt/root before exiting or writing in the label editor. You are now ready to write the new label to the disk and create a file system on it. Do this by typing W. Ignore any errors from sysinstall that it could not mount the new partition. Exit the Label Editor and sysinstall completely. After this: mkdir /mnt mkdir /mnt/root mkdir /mnt/var mkdir /mnt/usr /sbin/mount /dev/ad1s1a /mnt/root /sbin/mount /dev/ad1s1e /mnt/var /sbin/mount /dev/ad1s1f /mnt/usr cd /mnt/root /sbin/dump -L -f- /|restore -rf- cd /mnt/var /sbin/dump -L -f- /var|restore -rf- cd /mnt/usr /sbin/dump -L -f- /usr|restore -rf- Cheers, Vince - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Vice President __ Unix Networking Operations - FreeBSD-Real Unix for Free / / / / | / |[__ ] WurldLink Corporation / / / / | / | __] ] San Francisco - Honolulu - Hong Kong / / / / / |/ / | __] ] HongKong Stars/Gravis UltraSound Mailing Lists Admin /_/_/_/_/|___/|_|[] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - oahu.DAL.NET Hawaii's DALnet IRC Network Server Admin On Wed, 3 Sep 2003, Mike Tancsa wrote: use g4u to make a copy of your HD to a local ftp server off your original drive.

Then the restored data will just sit in /mnt/root! What good does it there? Well, the purpose of that is so that your actually HD that's being used fails, you can just plug the second drive in as the primary drive and boot from it. Since it's basically the clone of the original drive. Or should I create /mnt/root as partition, about equal in size to the root partition, and then restore therein, and do the old switcheroo in /etc/fstab later, to make it the root partion? My /mnt/root and / are the same size and the /mnt/usr and /usr are the same size. The /mnt stuff just needs to be the same size or a larger size. I don't have a separate /var partition but there are two ways to use what's on mount. One is to edit the /mnt/root/etc/fstab to point to the new device names and assuming you put in the FreeBSD Boot Manager, one of the Fn keys as shown on the screen will allow you to choose the drive. If you don't choose, then it's your original drive that gets booted up. The second method is really if the first drive dies for whatever reason, the second drive will be bootable with the last dump/restore that is done. In my case, I do the dump/restore at 4AM every morning. I needed to do this since I'm running on a Dell Inspiron 8200 notebook and the last time, the IBM 60GB 2.5 5400rpm 2MB Cache TravelStar HD died, I lost everything except the /etc directory... I've already verified this works as my / and /usr is on a Fujitsu 60GB 2.5 4200rpm 2MB Cache HD while I replaced it with a Hitachi 60GB 2.5 7200rpm 8MB Cache HD for the primary drive. After the dump/restore is done, I swapped the drives and added another identical Hitachi drive for the second drive so now I'm running on the new drive and dump/restoring to a second identical drive while keeping the Fujitsu as a spare. This is what my df output looks like as the available space is different due to the primary drive having changes after 4AM Pacific Daylight Time.

With Fn like: F1 FreeBSD F5 FreeBSD F1 will boot by default If you hit F5, it will boot the second drive but make sure the second drive's /etc/fstab has the correct device names since it should goto the wherever you had the /mnt stuff.

banners on tcpd (tcpwrappers)
Greetings everyone: Does anyone know what needs to be done to the tcpd - tcp wrappers to get banners to work? Thanks.

Re: banners on tcpd (tcpwrappers)
I'm referring to /usr/libexec/tcpd as in the TCP Wrappers which relies on /etc/hosts.allow. The environment is pretty much for anything via terminal access and not via the web. tcpwrappers used to be a port on FreeBSD and that one when you edit the files would allow the banners to work but the tcpd I have from the port would show banners to those allowed in /etc/hosts.allow with the line: telnetd,ftpd,rshd,rlogind : 216.235.52. : rfc931 : banners /etc/banners but it will let people through without the banner for anyone not allowed. The tcpd in /usr/libexec/tcpd works correctly for access but it doesn't display the banners.

Re: FreeBSD and Verizon DSL
You can usually tell from the modem you're using. The GTE one is a Fujitsu/Orkit and uses DHCP. The BellAtlantic one uses modems from Efficient Networks/Siemens, Westell and Alcatel and uses PPPoE. What was the name of the telco before it was Verizon, that's one way to tell.

Re: FreeBSD and Verizon DSL
I thought there were some GTE territories on the east coast as well. Not all Verizon West territories have the ATM yet since the FR networks can be at a minimum of T1 speed but the ATM requires atleast a DS3. In Hawaii, 90% of the DSLAM's are still FR.
