[Shorewall-users] newer iproute2 revision in gentoo causes issues with activated traffic control

2017-12-18 Thread Alexander Stoll

Hello

I want to bring to your attention that at least gentoo stabilized 
iproute 4.14.x (4.4.0 was old stable) which obviously needs new 
parameters for tc command when enabled in shorewall.


Are you already aware of this issue?

Please refer also to this bug:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/640766

No progress on this bug visible...

Best regards

 that command has been removed.


Dear Tom,

I use traffic shaping on multiple hosts, all connected via DSL, if an ip 
change occurs "shorewall refresh" reattaches the qdiscs...


What would be the recommended way without "refresh" with 5.2?

Best regards

[Shorewall-users] tc problem on new GENTOO kernel

2018-11-08 Thread Alexander Stoll

Hi Tom,

posting to the list because until know I am not shure what is to blame...

- working config with kernel 4.18.14 (gentoo-sources-4.18.14)

- introduced with gentoo-sources-4.18.15 tc rules are not loading 
anymore on startup, gentoo-sources-4.19.x also affected


- set up a testenv on spare with simple config

log output

Setting up Traffic Control...
RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range
   ERROR: Command "tc qdisc add dev enp8s0 root handle 1: hfsc default 
12" Failed



seems tc is no longer working with these parameters...

My first guess: regression in patchset (gentoo-sources), needs 
verification and further digging.


Is anyone aware of some known bug?

Best regards

Hi,

1) We (Gentoo) don't patch anything tc-related in gentoo-sources.

2) The only change between gentoo-sources 4.18.14 and 4.18.15 was the
addition of "linux-4.18.15.patch"
(https://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches/patches-4.18-18.html).

I guess Alexander hit https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/26/80


Thanks for clarification, hoping this gets addressed soon in the next 
kernel point release...

So with this I end up with NAT'd IPv6.  Which I thought you weren't
supposed to do.

yes, this is ugly and something to avoid when ever possible...


But I guess if I'm going to have private internal IPv6 addresses,
either static &/or delegated, then I have to do this somehow.

It depends how ipv6 address space is delegated to you.
Her in germany our biggest telco delegates dynamically a /56 subnet
which is plenty space for almost everything.
Because it is dynamically allocated via dhcp on every new connect, for
static service allocation in internal nets we are forced to use ULA
address space for internal services and delegate derived subnets from
the provider global unicast delegation to clients for internet access.



I keep thinking there's a routing solution that solves this, but I
can't figure it out.  And your NAT suggestion does fix it for now.

When you recieve only a /64 subnet, this gets gets realy complicated and
depends on every involved software which has to support subnets smaller
than /64.
In this situation you may be better off with a NAT solution.

Best wishes
