[LARTC] Newbie: Installing Traffic Shaping

[Christian Meier]

Hello List!

My distribution is SuSE 7.3 Prof. I've successfully installed the
iproute2 packet. If I enter some tc-rules the machine returns no
errors, but the rules do not affect the bandwidth!

Does this mean that the kernel is not compiled with the necessary
options? Where can I see, which options the kernel was compiled with
(sorry, but I'm newbie)? I didn't change anything, it's a normal SuSE
7.3 distribution.

If I knew that the modules are working, I could go on trying to
install some rules, or could anyone be so kind and post a simple rule
that is slowing down my eth0 interface? I'd just like to see if the
tc-command and the kernel is working...

Thanks in advance!!

If it is a default SuSE kernel everything you should be  already there.
Nevertheless if you want to see the config of the kernel. Note that HTB
is not there


zcat /proc/config.gz will show you the config options set. If you want
to add things and then recompile the folowing command will make it as a
kernel config file

make cloneconfig  

You may want to have a look at http://susefaq.sf.net/sectionkernel.html

If you have no errors, you have all the support in the kernel you need.

Maybe you can find a config file in the /boot directory.

I have some scripts on www.docm.org.  You can also try to add a tvb qdisc as 
root qdisc.  This will limit all outgoing traffic.

Thanks for your fast answers, Togan and Stef! My sample configuration
works now.

> Note that HTB is not there

Well, then I'll have to learn howto patch a kernel, because it's too
difficult without HTB.

Thanks it works

I'll try it.

Ok

If I'll have any further questions to htb, I'll ask you again ;-)...
