[LARTC] HTB questions

[Mancinelli Giovanni]

Hello all,

I have some doubts about HTB algorithm:
Is it possible to deny client connection when bandwidth is saturated ?

I mean bandwidth manager manages  1Mbit  and link is full, can I stop new
connection ? 
can I guarantee a fixed minimum bandwidth to all connection already
established?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

Best Regards,
Giovanni

No. It would require tcp-qos cooperation.

Hello Devik,
Do you have any information about?
Is there a tool does it on Linux?

Thanks for the answer,
Giovanni

[LARTC] HTB questions

[curt brune]

Hello,

I have a number of questions re: HTB

* Traffic Simulator

I saw the traffic simulator, ethloop -- very clever.  I was wondering, however, how to
simulate traffic destined for specific ports ?  In the HBT HOWTO there are gnuplots of
traffic destined for different ports.  

* Low rate shaping

My maximum uplink is 384kbits/sec .  I plan to shape HTTP,SMTP and other protos to some
fraction of the maximum.  Are there any special steps when shaping to these low rates ?  I
saw most of the examples are in the 5 to 10 mbit/sec range, roughly 30 times higher than
what I plan to do.

Cheers,
Curt

I never used ethloop myself, but I think it uses flowid's.  So if you create a 
htb setup with classes and filters, you can use the u32 filter to match 
packets with different ports.  Ethloop will generate the traffic in the 
flowid's you configured it for.

Or take a look at the P option :

P Number. Priocode set by setsockopt(sock,SOL_SOCKET,SO_PRIORITY,...). It is 
very convenient way to test qdisc because majority of classfull qdisc will 
use classid stored in priority field. To say that this flow should go to 
class 3:4f use P 0x3004f. This way you need no filters.

If you have class with very different rates, it's possible you can get 
warnings about quantum.  You can ignore them, but it's better fix it.  To be 
short, quantum = rate / r2q with r2q = 10 by default.  
And MTU (1500) < quantum < 60.000.
Quantum is the number of bytes a class my send IF 2 or more classes are 
fighting for bandwidth from the same parent.  You can overrule r2q when you 
add the htb qdisc and/or you can overrule quantum when you add a htb class.
