I have some EoIP tunnels that pass through a router that has some
simple queues for bandwidth control. I don't want the EoIP tunnels to
get throttled, but I have a fall-through simple queue that basically
is supposed to catch everything that doesn't have an explicit rule and
throttle it to 1 Mbps/256 Kbps. So, to get around this, I set up a
specific simple queue for the EoIP tunnels, hoping to keep it from
getting throttled. But it's not behaving the way I would expect. Can
someone look at the following simple queues and tell me why this works:
0 name="eoip" target-addresses=10.2.1.119/32,10.1.1.100/32
dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=all parent=none direction=both
priority=2 queue=exempt/exempt limit-at=0/0 max-limit=0/0
burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s
total-queue=default-small
30 name="default" target-addresses=10.0.0.0/8
dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=all parent=none direction=both
priority=7 queue=pcq_upload/pcq_download limit-at=0/0 max-limit=0/0
burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s
total-queue=default
But this doesn't:
0 name="eoip" target-addresses=10.2.1.119/32
dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=all parent=none direction=both
priority=2 queue=exempt/exempt limit-at=0/0 max-limit=0/0
burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s
total-queue=default-small
30 name="default" target-addresses=10.0.0.0/8
dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=all parent=none direction=both
priority=7 queue=pcq_upload/pcq_download limit-at=0/0 max-limit=0/0
burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s
total-queue=default
The only difference between the two is in the first example, in rule
0, I list both EoIP endpoints as targets. This seems to work fine.
The EoIP tunnel with the two endpoints I specify hits rule 0, and it
goes through without being throttled. However, if I only list one
endpoint, as in the second example, it falls through to rule 30 and
get's throttled to 1 Mbps/256 Kbps.
The reason it matters is I have multiple EoIP tunnels going through
this router. They all have 10.2.1.119 as a common endpoint, but they
have different endpoints at the other side. I was hoping to be able
to simply set up a single rule applying to 10.2.1.119, and that all
the tunnels would hit it. That way, I wouldn't have to set up another
simple queue every time we establish another tunnel.
Any ideas?
