[LARTC] tc rules and DGD patches

[LARTC] tc rules and DGD patches

[Yogesh Hasabnis]

Hi All,

I have one query which may be quite silly. My Linux
internet gateway has Dead Gateway Detetction patches
applied to it's kernel. If I am right, the DGD patches
allow us to add static routes which are not destroyed
even if the interface or the link goes down. I want to
know whether, with the DGD patches applied, the
traffic shaping rules defined using tc, added to an
interface remain intact when a link/interface goes
down (and comes up some time later) ?

Thanks

Yogesh

Yes, they remain intact.  In fact, you can create rules for an interface
that does not even exist.
