Hi,

I got some problems using flowadm on a SmartOS 20140515T211957Z on live system hardware with emulex oce 10GbE
and on a vm with Vmware fusion with 20140807T193112Z:

I want enforce a bandwith limit using the followin commands.

flowadm add-flow -z ... -l net0 -p maxbw=10M -a local_ip=.... demo_inet0

What I expect to see is, to limit the bandwith to 10 Mbit/s.
What I see is totally strange/erratic behaviour:


1.)When setting a bandwidth for a vnic in a zone below 13M

  I can't even ping the IP of the interface in the zone (timeout).

I am not able to download a file, the download does not start:
     curl http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/200MB.zip >/dev/null

(Both works without the bandwitdh limit as above).

2.)If setting the bandwidth higher then 13M, the results for a download are far below the configuredvalues:

   wget http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/200MB.zip

On live system:

Setting maxbw=30M:
407KByte/s

Without flowadm:
5.24MByte/s

3.) If setting the bandwith with

dladm set-linkprop -z ... -p maxbw=10M inet0

the same problems occur.


4.) On a system with 20120809T221258Z in a VMware Esx setting maxbw=8M works as expected
on multiple zones.

Am I doing something wrong ?
Is this problem known ?

Thanks you very much for your help,
Franz
