It works -within the following limits: - -o Minimum shaping speed is currently about 9600 baud (it can only -shape down to 1 byte per clock tick) - -o Maximum is about 256K, it will go above this but get a bit blocky. - -o If you ifconfig the master device that a shaper is attached to down -then your machine will follow. - -o The shaper must be a module. - - -Setup: - - A shaper device is configured using the shapeconfig program. -Typically you will do something like this - -shapecfg attach shaper0 eth1 -shapecfg speed shaper0 64000 -ifconfig shaper0 myhost netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 1.2.3.4.255 up -route add -net some.network netmask a.b.c.d dev shaper0 - -The shaper should have the same IP address as the device it is attached to -for normal use. - -Gotchas: - - The shaper shapes transmitted traffic. It's rather impossible to -shape received traffic except at the end (or a router) transmitting it. - - Gated/routed/rwhod/mrouted all see the shaper as an additional device -and will treat it as such unless patched. Note that for mrouted you can run -mrouted tunnels via a traffic shaper to control bandwidth usage. - - The shaper is device/route based. This makes it very easy to use -with any setup BUT less flexible. You may need to use iproute2 to set up -multiple route tables to get the flexibility. - - There is no "borrowing" or "sharing" scheme. This is a simple -traffic limiter. We implement Van Jacobson and Sally Floyd's CBQ -architecture into Linux 2.2. This is the preferred solution. Shaper is -for simple or back compatible setups. - -Alan |
