hi all

the following is the setup i have done.

eth0 globals ip

eth1 internal ip 10.1.1.0/24 --->>>shd be capped to max 256Kbit

linux 8.0 with htb 3.6

tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1:0 htb default 2

tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 250Kbit ceil 250Kbit

tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:2 htb rate 128Kbit ceil 250Kbit

then i created leaves from 1:5 to 1:50 each getting 16Kbit and ceil 20Kbit

a range of 50 ipes

e.g.

tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:2 classid 1:5 htb rate 16Kbit ceil 20Kbit

tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 protocol ip pref 5 u32 match dst 10.1.1.5/32 flowid 1:5

like that....

although for sometime this setup works fine but suddenly it goes totally unbouded.

i have gone thru the pages at docum.org and found out that if sum of child calsses exceed parent rate then parent rate is not respected.

then what shd i do if i have to cap outgoing b/w on eth1 stricktly to 256Kbit only.

hope to get an early response.
