[Bridge] qos queue on bridge

[Bridge] qos queue on bridge

[ratheesh k]

i bridged eth0 (ethernet ) and ap0 (wireless )  using  brctl command .
The bridge interface is br0 . i connected a linux desktop (Machine A
) to eth0 and  Machine B to ap0 .

I have ingress qdisc and egress qdisc on br0 .

if i ping MAchine A from Machine B , will the icmp pkts will go thru
any of the qdisc ( egress or ingress ) ??????

The bridge pseudo-device (br0) is only used for packets
arriving at the host, not for packets transiting through
the bridge.

If you apply QoS on br0 (output), then it will only apply
to locally generated packets. Likewise ingress will only
apply to packets whose final destination is the bridge machine.

To do QoS on packets going through the bridge, apply
QoS to the underlying devices (eth0, ap0).
