[LARTC] CBQ DEVICE BW?

[LARTC] CBQ DEVICE BW?

[Srikanth]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 411 bytes --]

Hi,

The CBQ config file shud be some thing like this.

DEVICE=eth0,10Mbit,1Mbit
RATE=50Kbit
WEIGHT=5Kbit

Shall i hardcode the DEVICE BW as 10/100 Mbit
or
Shall i use any other tool like ethtool for getting this.
ethtool gives Speed: 10Mbps

If so, how about, if i use some other Interfaces other than eth0,
like ppp0 or some other?

C'd anybody can give a suggestion over this?

thanks & regards,
Srikanth.

Bandwidth should be the real physical bandwidth of the device.

Forgive me, if i'm wrong. 

As of my understanding, are the below lines right?

DEVICE BW = Real physical bandwidth of the device 

So, Here DEVICE means only the Interface, not the Link, am i right?
 
&

RATE = Rate assigned to perticular user/network/service.

How much the user/network/service can aquire max. allowable rate?


I can consider as 10/100 Mbps for ethernet interface.
So, how about, when i use ppp0 (pppoe) in my CBQ, is it same?
bcoz, pppoe uses eth0, am i right?

How do i get the real physical bandwidth of the device?

The below program attached is giving the value 6, on my system.
In some other systems, it's giving 2 (don't know whether Kbps/Mbps).

Yes.  If you add the bounded parameter, you create a maximum for that class.

I'm not sure about that.  But I think you have to use the eth0 speed.
Or use htb, no more bandwidth questions needed :)

Thanks Stef,

I've customized ethtool source, it's giving the correct values depends 
on the real
physical I/F BW. (as per my requirements)

I need only speed from that.

Yah, from now onwards, no more DEVICE BW questions.
