Re: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 899140] Re: Problem with Linux Kernel Traffic Control

Hi,

So, the host command lines are :
*$ qemu -name A -sdl -m 512 -enable-kvm -localtime -k fr -hda 
debian1.img -net nic,macaddr=a0:00:00:00:00:01 -net 
socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:7000*

The second is
*$ qemu -name B -sdl -m 512 -enable-kvm -localtime -k fr -hda 
debian2.img -net nic,macaddr=a0:00:00:00:00:02 -net 
socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:7000*

On virual machines :

*root@A# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1*
*root@A# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 20mbit burst 20480 latency 
50ms*

*root@B# **ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2*

Then if we check with /Iperf/, the real rate will be about 100kbit/s :

*root@B# iperf -s*

*root@A# iperf -c 192.168.0.1*

Title:
  Problem with Linux Kernel Traffic Control

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  The last main versions of QEMU (0.14.1, 0.15 and 1.0) have an important problem when running on a Linux distribution which running itself a Traffic Control (TC) instance.
  Indeed, when TC is configured with a Token Bucket Filter (TBF) with a particular rate, the effective rate is very slower than the desired one.

  For instance, lets consider the following configuration :

  # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 20mbit burst 20k latency 50ms

  The effective rate will be about 100kbit/s ! (verified with iperf)
  I've encountered this problem on versions 0.14.1, 0.15 and 1.0 but not with the 0.14.0...
  In the 0.14.0, we have a rate of 19.2 mbit/s which is quiet normal.

  I've done the experimentation on several hosts :

  - Debian 32bit core i7, 4GB RAM
  - Debian 64bit core i7, 8GB RAM
  - 3 different high performance servers : Ubuntu 64 bits, 48 AMD Opteron, 128GB of RAM

  The problem is always the same... The problem is also seen with a
  Class Based Queuing (CBQ) in TC.

  Thanks
