Here is the script I am using. tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: htb tc class add dev lo parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 100kbit ceil 100kbit tc class add dev lo parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 50kbit ceil 50kbit tc class add dev lo parent 1:1 classid 1:11 htb rate 50kbit ceil 50kbit tc filter add dev lo protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 0 u32 match ip sport 22 0xffff flowid 1:10 tc filter add dev lo protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 0 u32 match ip dport 22 0xffff flowid 1:11 When this script is applied across eth0 (when I do a sftp to another machine) the bandwidth limitation is applied correctly. However if I use this in loopback (sftp to another directory in the same machine) then I get bit rate approx 400kbit - i.e. usually it roughly multiplies the bit rate by 8. Why does this happen? Does HTB work differently in loopback? Any clue regarding this would be mostl helpful.
