Subject: [PATCH] TBF: stop qdisc infanticide
Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 09:17:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100513091717.78bd7f1f@nehalam> (raw)
Several netem users have complained that when using TBF for rate control
that any change to TBF parameters destroys the child qdisc. A typical
use is to have a test that sets up netem + TBF then changes bandwidth
setting. But every time the parameters of TBF are changed it destroys
the child qdisc, requiring reconfiguration. Other qdisc's like HTB
don't do this.
