[LARTC] [tcng] drawing with gnuplot

[raptor]

hi,

Is there a way with tcsim to see how different channels got used i.e. say I have three channels

egress {
	class(<$a>) if ip_src = 192.168.0.1;
	class(<$b>) if ip_src = 192.168.0.2;
	class(<$c>) if ip_src = 192.168.0.3;

	htb(...) {
		$a = class { htb(rate X1, ceil Y1 ...) };
		$b = class { htb(rate X2, ceil Y2 ...) };
		$c = class { htb(rate X3, ceil Y3 ...) };
	}
}

now I want to "send" alot of packets in different speeds from these three addreses and see how channels got used when borrowing happens and in what proportions .... as I saw in the examples of the tcsim i see only E,D stuff... in fact the examples are very hard to undersand... 
I read the whole tcng there is no one full example of say cbq and/or tbf usage (for beginners :") ).  :"(

thanx alot

PS. I got errors on "make test", tommorow will save it on fdd and will post them on the list ....
There is one good news HTB is included in Mandrake 8.2 :"), so i dont need to patch.

There's no general way to distinguish classes (*). However, since
you select by source IP address, you can let tcsim_filter split flows
by that:

tcsim ... | tcsim_filter ... src | tcsim_plot

(*) In principle, I could export skb->tc_index, which is always set
    when using the egress or ingress qdiscs, but since skb->tc_index
    gets assigned some more-or-less arbitrary values, additional
    information would be needed to make this data useful. Perhaps
    something to consider after switching from tcsim to umlsim.

Not sure if this helps, but there is examples-ng/tbf

In general, the tcng documentation doesn't try to explain how to use
the qdiscs (semantics, parameters, etc.), since all that is basically
the same as with "tc".

"make test" errors are always interesting :-)
