[LARTC] Large number of HTB classes
I am planning a setup with thousands of classes in a HTB qdisc, say from 1:1000 to 1:2000, each with a very small rate and a big ceil, for fair sharing of a 45mbit link. I suspect some problems could be lurking in there. Anyone having good/bad experience with such number of classes?

Consider using HFSC. HTB is not the best solution for such a number of classes with small rate. Users will not be able to get the whole ceil even if there will be avaliable bandwidth. Secondly make sure your're using kernel with double linked list patch applied to qdisc api. -- Tomasz Paszkowski pgp6suZVgTBMn.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [LARTC] Large number of HTB classes
HFSC seems interesting, but does it really work well? I am not afraid of new stuff, but bleeding edge is probably too risky. That HTB problem, I guess you mean it is possible to have available bandwidth, but when some of it has been distributed between users, all users' ceils go below their quantums? But that implies that users have low ceils? Wouldn't it be solved by setting all users' ceil to the full link bandwidth? The doubly linked list patch you mention, I believe it should be in vanilla kernel since 2.4.20-22 or something? I use 2.4.27 here. If not, do you have a link for it?

Simon I tried with 1: as parents and child classes from 1:1000 until .. 1:9900 increments by 10, ... phuff .. nothin to worry about although checking it one by one will make ur head dizzy .. :)) - Rio.Martin - Powered by HTB since early 2003. ___ LARTC mailing list / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
