We too have problems to obtain an accurate bandwidth management with many queues (hfsc) with low bandwidth percentages (sometimes a queue gets almost all bandwidth and other queues starve...) Do you think that increasing clock could help? The CPU is an Athlon 1.2 GHz, but CPU usage is quite low (85% idle time on average). Do you think a faster CPU could help?

It depends on your link speed, packet sizes, and queue parameters. Getting good bandwidth management at low rates has problems if the time it takes to transmit a MSS packet (say 1500 bytes) is large relative to the time quota. On a T1 (1.5 megabit) link, a 1500 byte packet takes approximately 80 milliseconds to transmit. Depending on how the queue parameters are set, a 1% quota HFSC queue could get a lot more or a lot less. In this case, increasing the clock resolution won't help. On a 100Mbit link or higher, a fast clock is essential to get good queue discipline because there's no other way to reliably restart transmission on an idle link. Another factor which can upset queue discipline is the output buffer queue length, which if too long can make problems under some circumstances. I haven't looked at altq or hfsc code in years, so YMMV.

Re: serial terminal
On Tue, 29 May 2007, Maurice Janssen wrote: Hi, I'm trying to use a VT420 serial terminal on an i386 box running 4.1-stable. Not as a system console, just as an extra screen to login. The output of the boot loader and kernel output should go to the monitor, as usual. The terminal is hooked up to the first serial port with a null modem cable. I changed the tty00 line of /etc/ttys to: tty00 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 vt220 on secure and sent -HUP to init. There's a getty process on tty00, but there's no login: prompt on the terminal. Everything I type on the terminal is echoed on the screen, so the cable is OK (local echo is off). H. Look into two things, no, make that three: 1) The settings on the terminal, whether XON/XOFF or RTS/CTS synchronization is selected, also baud rate, parity, 8/7 bits. Try 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit (8N1). 2) The settings on the tty, from # stty -a /dev/tty00 when the getty is running. 3) There are null modem cables, and there are null modem cables. Some are just plain junk, providing only cross over of the two data pins and if you're lucky, a ground. Others implement various ideas of what a null modem cable should be; the opinions of what a null modem cable differed between Digital, who made your terminal and IBM, who designed the PeeCee. The funny thing is, when I start 'tip tty00' on the machine (while logged in at the keyboard+monitor), the login: prompt appears on the terminal. Yeah, this is weird. You should be able to get the login: prompt by at most hitting the carriage return on the 420 twice. Try to set up everything for XON/XOFF flow control. When I quit tip, I can login at the terminal. When I logout from the terminal, the login: prompt doesn't appear (but everything I type is echoed to the terminal screen as before). I can start tip again, and then the login: prompt shows up again. I suspected a problem with the permissions of the tty00 device. After logout, they are set to crw--- 1 root wheel8, 0 May 29 21:44 tty00 This, by default, should be uucp.dialer, permissions crw-rw---, when at rest. When a getty is running, it should be as shown here. When logged in it is set to crw--- 1 maurice tty8, 0 May 29 22:00 tty00 Not sure if this is what it should be, but it doesn't look strange to me. BTW: not sure if it is related, but when I login as normal user, the following warning is shown on the terminal: ksh: No controlling tty (open /dev/tty: Device busy) ksh: warning: won't have full job control When I login as root, I don't get this warning. Ick. I have my suspicions, but won't voice them since they are superstitious. They involve a brief trip to single-user mode and running cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV all. Any ideas what's going wrong? Yeah, you're using a serial terminal on a PeeCee. (sarcasm). You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. The lamp grows dimmer. (Zork, a metaphor for debugging RS-232). Install a terminal emulator on the box, like kermit or something like minicom, from ports if the sometimes goofy behavior of tip/cu annoys you (like killing its parent xterm when you give it ~.). Hook up the terminal. See what you can do. Try things (settings). Terminals are a PITA, as bad as serial printers. See if the 420 has a VT-220 emulation mode, if so try it. It's hard to debug them over the phone (by email) like this, one needs to poke and try. A RS232 line analyzer is real handy. There used to be various utilities for MS-DOS that would display line status of the com ports on the screen, much like the blinkenlights on a modem. Don't know it they exist for Unix. Could kermit have such a feature? One has to delve into the kernel to see these things, a forbidden zone in Unix, unless some happy ioctl to pccom exists. Helpful man pages: tty, tip, remote, cu, getty, gettytab, pccom With the getty killed, try catting a large text file to /dev/tty00 (as root), look for garbage on the terminal, a sign of flow control being wrong. Try this with the terminal set for smooth scrolling. A debugging test: use the same cable (if you can) and connect the com ports of two OpenBSD boxes. Start the getty on one, and use tip/cu/minicom/kermit on the other. Everything should work fine. If it doesn't, the cable sucks in some way. If it doesn't work, force XON/XOFF on both boxes.

Snapshots src/sys tarballs
Is there a reason snapshots do not currently come with a src/sys.tar.gz as releases do? I would think this to be quite useful for people wishing/requiring building their own kernels, and using snapshots, as it would help to minimize damage from kernel/userland (and packages) coming out of sync. I'm sure there's a good reason for them not being included, but I'm just curious as to what it is, I was unable to find anything in the archives. Jimmy.
OpenOSPFd and kernel routing table (new variant)
Hi,
I am testing OpenBGPD and OpenOSPFD on a couple of Soekris boxes.
Even though I am using the latest code (-stable with ospfd kroute.c
revision 1.48), I am having problems with the kernel routing table
when OSPFD has to react to changes in the topology. I verified the
problem on a virtual setup (a couple of OpenBSD machines on an ESX
server), same result.
The problem can be summarized as follows: When I take down an interface
on one machine manually (e.g., ifconfig em1 down), then the OpenOSPFD
on another machine has no problems to detect this, routes to subnets in
the same AS will be adapted. However, the kernel continues to route
packets to destinations outside of the AS still over the dead link.
Fix: When I restart ospfd, the kernel routing table is OK again.
Here is an example with 3 routers that I have put together using
ESX/VMWare:
/em1-(.1) --- 10.74.96.0/27 --- (.2)--em0\
+-- (.22)-em0-[R1] [R2]
|\em2-(.33) -- 10.74.96.32/27 -- (.34)--em1/
10.0.0.0/24
|
+--- (.1)-em1-[R0]-em0 -- (62.2.0.0/16)
Router R0: AS65002 announces 62.2.0.0/16 to R1
Router R1: AS65001 announces 10.74.96.0/21 to R0
Router R2: AS65001 has an IBGP session with R1
Loopback (lo1) addresses: R1=10.74.97.1, R2=10.74.97.2
This setting works fine, I can ping from R2 to machines in 62.2.0.0/16.
Traffic between R1 and R2 flows over the upper link.
However, lets assume that one of the links between R1 and R2 fails.
[R1] # ifconfig em1 down (so eventually R2 will find out that I does
not receive any OSPF packets on em0 anymore).
It takes a while, but then ospfd on R2 has calculated the new topology:
[R2] # ospfctl show rib
Destination Nexthop Path TypeType Cost
0.0.0.1 10.74.96.33 Intra-Area Router11
10.74.96.0/2710.74.96.33 Intra-Area Network 21

(uptime column deleted, to comply with the 72 char restriction
of the mailing list).
[R2] # ospfctl show fib
flags: * = valid, O = OSPF, C = Connected, S = Static
Flags Destination Nexthop
*O 10.0.0.0/24 10.74.96.33

*S 127.0.0.0/8 127.0.0.1
*C 127.0.0.1/8 link#0
* 127.0.0.1/32 127.0.0.1
*S 224.0.0.0/4 127.0.0.1
This is not good, as the (via IBGP learned) route to 62.2.0.0/16 still
points to 10.74.96.1 (which is not directly reachable anymore).
Now let's kill and restart ospfd on R2, then check again:
# ospfctl show fib
flags: * = valid, O = OSPF, C = Connected, S = Static
Flags Destination Nexthop
*O 10.0.0.0/24 10.74.96.33
* 10.74.96.0/2110.74.96.33
*C 10.74.96.0/27link#1
*C 10.74.96.32/27 link#2
*O 10.74.97.1/3210.74.96.33
* 10.74.97.2/3210.74.97.2
* 62.2.0.0/16 10.74.96.33
*S 127.0.0.0/8 127.0.0.1
*C 127.0.0.1/8 link#0
* 127.0.0.1/32 127.0.0.1
*S 224.0.0.0/4 127.0.0.1
Voil`, now it looks OK =)
This is the ospfd.conf of R2:
password=gurke
router-id 0.0.0.2
redistribute connected
redistribute static
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface lo1
interface em0 {
metric 10

}
interface em1 {

}
}
Any suggstions? Am I making a substantial error?
I did not want to make this posting too long, so if somebody is
interested in the detailed config files then I can make them
available.
Thanks,

I'm sure there's a good reason for them not being included, but I'm just curious as to what it is, I was unable to find anything in the archives. I think the basic logic applies - if you are running snapshots in anything other than a development or test environment, you are likely capable of keeping your other system components properly synchronized. That's to say you are able to keep your own source tree in line with that which is published, you are able to work with CVS, you are playing with patches supplied in tested and untested forms from developers, and you are willing to walk the razor's edge in some cases knowing full well that breakage may be part of the stroll down that path. In other words, at some level you are probably involved with the development process - even indirectly through testing of someone else's code. Now, if people are running snapshots as the basis for the development for some third-party application like an embedded system or a commercial app but they are only loosely and intermittently and incompletely tracking source changes, etc, then the risk of breakage will rise commensurately. The most stable way to run OpenBSD is run a released system. I run snapshots all over the place with no ill effects but I'm not doing that ad-hoc and without knowledge of what is happening in the overall development process. Your mileage may vary. --J

Thanks for the reply guys. I'm using hfsc + altq and would really like a finer grain clock for better bandwidth management on low bandwidth queues.

Everything running fine so far and pf + altq seem to be doing a great job at shaping my network traffic.

Problem installing 4.1/sparc64 on Sun Blade 100
Hello, i'm trying to install OpenBSD/Sparc64 on a Blade 100, tried various methods/versions (all described in INSTALL.sparc64), they all fail after 'Trying bsd' and stall. Where can i have a start point to debug what happens/doesn't happen ? I've tried : - 3.9-release Cdrom (original version from wim) - 4.1-release cd41.iso taken from mirror/4.1 - 4.1-current cd41.iso taken from snapshots - knowing cd-install are not really good on blades, i tried netbooting bsd.rd 4.1-release and -current, using another obsd box as rarpd/tftpd/rpc.bootparamd/nfsd/mountd server, set like described in diskless(8). The weird thing is that ofwboot.net is taken from tftpd after 'boot net bsd.rd', ran, i see the first twolines : OpenBSD 4.1 (obj) #0: -build-date- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC then Trying bsd and stalled-nothing more on the screen. but i see no mount requests in mountd -d output. i tried following https://www-s.acm.uiuc.edu/wiki/comments/OpenBSD+Sparc64#notes documentation too. security-mode is set to none in OBP, and firmware version is 4.0.45, i don't think it needs a firmware upgrade. Could it be a hardware problem ? How can i get more debug information ? Thanks for any hints. Next step will be trying to use a floppy (gee, i have to find a floppy reader and a disk), or putting the disk in my U10 (which works fine) and try to do the install on it. Landry

Re: Snapshots src/sys tarballs
Is there a reason snapshots do not currently come with a src/sys.tar.gz as releases do? Because every snapshot for every architecture is done on a different tree, and some are even done 5-6 times a day. So this would require, if I can guess this right, 2.6GB per day. Supplied over a T1. Keep dreaming though.

This also serves to ensure that none of the architectures get busted, because those snapshots are also then rebooted on the build machines, and thus tested.

* Jimmy Mitchener [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-05-30 20:38]: anyway, snapshots aren't always quite the same as you get from -current source. That's my point really. I would think it to be advantageous to have a snapshot of the code just as that snapshot was created (no pun intended). But yes, you could avoid the pitfalls I described previously by following source-changes. I was just curious as to why it wasn't included as it is for releases. because it is extra work only done for releases. -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg Amsterdam
Re: Problem installing 4.1/sparc64 on Sun Blade 100
I had the same problem until I updated the firmware to 4.17.1 -Ted Landry Breuil wrote: Hello, i'm trying to install OpenBSD/Sparc64 on a Blade 100, tried various methods/versions (all described in INSTALL.sparc64), they all fail after 'Trying bsd' and stall. Where can i have a start point to debug what happens/doesn't happen ? I've tried : - 3.9-release Cdrom (original version from wim) - 4.1-release cd41.iso taken from mirror/4.1 - 4.1-current cd41.iso taken from snapshots - knowing cd-install are not really good on blades, i tried netbooting bsd.rd 4.1-release and -current, using another obsd box as rarpd/tftpd/rpc.bootparamd/nfsd/mountd server, set like described in diskless(8). The weird thing is that ofwboot.net is taken from tftpd after 'boot net bsd.rd', ran, i see the first twolines : OpenBSD 4.1 (obj) #0: -build-date- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC then Trying bsd and stalled-nothing more on the screen. but i see no mount requests in mountd -d output. i tried following https://www-s.acm.uiuc.edu/wiki/comments/OpenBSD+Sparc64#notes documentation too. security-mode is set to none in OBP, and firmware version is 4.0.45, i don't think it needs a firmware upgrade. Could it be a hardware problem ? How can i get more debug information ? Thanks for any hints. Next step will be trying to use a floppy (gee, i have to find a floppy reader and a disk), or putting the disk in my U10 (which works fine) and try to do the install on it.
