Re: [LARTC] quantum value for voip

[Mathieu Deziel <mathieu.deziel@crc.ca>]

Sorry, I sent it in HTML the first time.  Here it is again in text
format.

To minimize latency, (which is probably what you want for voip traffic),
give the class a high priority.
Make sure it never reaches its configured rate.  If it does, you will
see that the latency increases.
If you think it might reach its configured rate, than use a policing
filter before the class to place an upper limit on the rate.
And, as Steph memtionned, a FIFO is a good thing.  Just make sure it is
big enough to handle your expected burst, but not too big because it
could
increase the latency.

Good luck,
Mathieu.

  Tbf will not change nything.  Htb is acutally a tbf but with classes.

  Why not a simple fifo?  You can adapt the size of it from the command
line.
