Subject: [LARTC] Weird quirk with ingress policing
Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2004 11:11:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40543DD1.5020702@rebirthing.co.nz> (raw)

Hi,

I notice that if two or more existing connections match an ingress 
policing filter, the input bandwidth does not get evenly divided up 
between the n connections.

Kinda like litters of baby animals, where the stronger babies get more 
access to the mothers teats and grow up bigger and faster than their 
siblings.

The only workaround that's working for me is to set explicit ingress 
policing filters, which match src and dest host and port, so for each 
filter there can only be exactly one connection which matches. Then, 
it's just a matter of evenly dividing up the allocated total input bw 
amongst these n processes. This works, but it's not exactly optimal.

Kind regards
David
