using CLASSIFY target with tbf

using CLASSIFY target with tbf

[Paul Jack]

hi folks

i am routing traffic between an internet connection and an internal 
network. i wish to throttle individual users who have exceeded their quota.

initially i have a htb 1:0 attached to the root of my internal 
interface. when a quota is exceeded my script attaches a htb class 1:n 
with rate = the whole internal bandwidth, 100mbit. then it attaches to 
this a tbf qdisc n+9:0 with rate = shaped rate, 48kbit. the tbf 
automatically creates one class n+9:1. the script also then creates a 
rule in mangle POSTROUTING for that user with -j CLASSIFY --set-class n+9:1

so, for the first shaped user (n=1) i execute:

tc class add dev $internal parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 100mbit
tc qdisc add dev $internal parent 1:1 handle 10:0 tbf rate 48kbit burst 
10kb limit 10kb
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -d $machIP -j CLASSIFY --set-class 10:1

which makes:

root
qdisc       class         qdisc         class
htb  ------  htb  ------  tbf  ------  tbf
1:0              1:1          10:0          10:1

tc -s -d qdisc show dev eth1 gives:
qdisc htb 1: root r2q 10 default 0 direct_packets_stat 82635 ver 3.17

class tbf 10:1 parent 10:

iptables -t mangle -L POSTROUTING  -n gives:
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
CLASSIFY   all  --  0.0.0.0/0            192.168.20.10       CLASSIFY 
set 10:1

i can see traffic going through the root qdisc alright but nothing's 
getting shaped.
can some wonderful person out there show me where i'm going wrong ?

thank you muchly,
aunty
