Hello everyone,
I have a (mini) Linux router, which goes "out" through eth0; eth0 is
capable of almost 2Mbit of bandwith (well, actually it's like 10Mbit,
but you wouldn't care less). Now, say I want to limit _everything_, like
in every connection. So naturally, after carefully reading the man pages
and that excellent HOWTO, I resort to TBF. I fiddle a lit with this, but
after a couple of hours of intense experimentation, I find that it
doesn't do what I really want it to.
Specifically, I want _every_ connection to use _at most_ (say) 16kbps, never
more, even if there is some bandwidth to borrow from. But TBF doesn't
seem to do just that (or I don't understand its inner working, which I
kinda don't). And what does burst mean/do? tc-tbf(8) says that I would
never need to modify this, but tc qdisc add ... root tbf always requires
it.
Thanks in advance.
