Re: [LARTC] Need big buffer!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Greetings Bob, : I've been trying to read up, and still not coming up with : concrete info on queue sizes. Right now, my code for limiting to : 300k is: : : tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 21 : tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 300kbit : tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb prio 0 rate 100kbit : tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:21 htb prio 1 rate 100kbit ceil 300k : : ..with some matches for prioritizing other traffic into class : 1:20. : : I assume there is something I need to add to the first line, but : everything I've read about never mentions htb. Here are pointers to HTB documentation that I have written [0], and, of course, the author's own documentation [1]. Stef Coene, who used to be extraordinarily active on this list has some useful (if not currently maintained) documentation at [2]. See also Leonardo Balliache's thorough examination of traffic control under Linux [3]. As I see it, your problem is not that you haven't found the right HTB setting, but rather that you haven't embedded a (b)FIFO in the right place. Try adding a fifo of the appropriate size (in bytes) to the class which is handling your bursty traffic. This FIFO will hold your queued packets while HTB dequeues them at the ceil rate. Trial and error will probably help you determine the optimal depth of the FIFO for your purposes. tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:21 bfifo limit 256000 Best of luck, - -Martin [0] [1] http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/ [2] http://www.docum.org/docum.org/ [3] http://www.opalsoft.net/qos/DS-28.htm - -- Martin A.

[LARTC] Need big buffer!
Hi gang, I have an application that is sending streaming media to a server. The encoder computer sends an average of 200kbit stream; but for short, 1 second bursts, can hit 400-500kbits. After it does one of these bursts, it reduces its output for another second or two, so that it maintains its average of 200kbits. The problem is that it is sending UDP packets into a DSL link that has a fixed upstream cap of 300kbit. All is fine until it decides to burst, then I get dropped packets. Is there a way I can insert a linux box after the encoding machine that I can use some traffic shaping to: 1. Make sure it never sends more than 300k up (I do know how to do this now) 2. Make a big buffer so that I can still get all the data through the pipe, albeit with some delay, when these bursts happen. I would need this buffer to handle at least 2 seconds worth, maybe more. I need something like this: TimeIN OUT (secs) (kbit) (kbit) -- 0.0 200 200 0.5 200 200 1.0 350 300 1.5 400 300 2.0 25 175 2.5 50 50 3.0 175 175 3.5 200 200 ...etc... Ideas?

If you know how to do the 300k limit then using that same method add a queue depth to handle the difference on that class. ___ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
