[LARTC] help, strange question about tcp and udp traffic control?

[lihpc]

Hi ;



    +--------+           +-----------+                     +--------+
    | server |---------- | linux box |---------------------| Client |
    +--------+           +-----------+                     +--------+

MY script:

tc-htb3 qdisc del dev eth1 root
ipchains -F

tc-htb3 qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 10: htb default 20  r2q 40

tc-htb3 class add dev eth1 parent 10: classid 10:1 htb rate 50Mbit   burst
2000

tc-htb3 class add dev eth1 parent 10:1 classid 10:100 htb rate 12mbit ceil
13mbit prio 1
tc-htb3 class add dev eth1 parent 10:1 classid 10:20 htb rate 38mbit ceil
50Mbit prio 7

ipchains -A fw -s 10.1.1.1 -d 10.1.5.1 -m 100
ipchains -A fw -s 0.0.0.0 -d 0.0.0.0 -j ACCEPT

tc-htb3 filter add dev eth1 protocol ip parent 10:0 prio 1 handle 100  fw
classid 10:100




I've find one strange question about traffic control when sending udp data
and tcp data.
Could you explain it ? thanks


question:

WHEN I measure maximum UDP bandwidth by using "Iperf -1.6 -s -u" in server
host and "iperf-1.6 -c <server address>  -u  -b 50m" in client host, the
bandwidth is 12.1mbit.
OK.  work well.

BUT
WHEN I measure maximum TCP bandwidth by using"Iperf -1.6 -s " in server
host and "iperf-1.6 -c <server address>  " in client host, the bandwidth is
only 3.1mbit.
WHY ?

I'm not sure, but your burst is way to low.  Can you remove the burst 
parameter from class 10:1 and try again ??
And can you check the tc and ipchains counters so the packets are placed in 
the queue you want ?
