Hi!
I just tested my HTB setup. But I have a problem. Let's assume I run the
following script (even if it might do nothing useful, just for demonstrating
my problem):
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/tc qdisc add dev ppp0 root handle 1: htb default 12
/usr/sbin/tc class add dev ppp0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 125kbit ceil
125kbit
/usr/sbin/tc class add dev ppp0 parent 1:1 classid 1:14 htb rate 125kbit
ceil 125kbit prio 0
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o ppp0 -p tcp --dport ftp-data -j
MARK --set-mark 14
tc filter add dev ppp0 parent 1:0 prio 0 protocol ip handle 14 fw flowid
1:14
I have an adsl-connection (768kbit down/128kbit up), Linux kernel 2.4.20.
The script should do nothing to an outgoing ftp-upload, since I grant all
the available bandwith to it. No other traffic is happending during all
that, only one ftp-upload from a computer inside the LAN. I start the upload
without the rules above, and the upload is at a constant maximum of
128kbit/sec. After running the script above and waiting for say 5 seconds,
the upload speed drops down to app. 80 kbit/s! After removing the rules
above, the speed climbs up again to top speed.
Can someone explain to me why this happens? I think I didn't quite
understand HTB...
Thanks,
Robert

Have you tried with other rates and ceil values?
And you defined a default class 12, but there is no such class.
Ftp-data can use dynamic ports. So can you check that the iptables line with
"--dport ftp-data" is really catching the ftp packets??

If I reduce rate and ceil, it doesn't work properly either. I tried setting
the rate to 8kbit and the ceil to 16kbit and the upload did get less than
2kbyte/s, it was app. 1,3kbyte/s.
I modified the script to satisfy the need for the default class 12:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/tc qdisc add dev ppp0 root handle 1:0 htb default 12
/usr/sbin/tc class add dev ppp0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 125kbit ceil
125kbit
/usr/sbin/tc class add dev ppp0 parent 1:1 classid 1:12 htb rate 25kbit ceil
125kbit prio 1
/usr/sbin/tc class add dev ppp0 parent 1:1 classid 1:14 htb rate 100kbit
ceil 125kbit prio 0
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o ppp0 -p tcp --dport ftp-data -j
MARK --set-mark 14
tc filter add dev ppp0 parent 1:0 prio 0 protocol ip handle 14 fw flowid
1:14
The ftp-data-port rule works for all active ftp-connections, and the packet
dounter of the rule increases just as I expected.
Any ideas, why the rate crashes down with these rules? May the
processor-power be the problem? The router is a Pentium-200, 64mb ram.
Thanks,
Robert

16kbit is 2 kbyte and 1,3 is allmost 2kbyte. So it seems to me that you are
shaping what you want. But what worried me was the fact that in you first
post, the bandwidth dropped after 5 sec from 128kbit to 80kbit. Do you
still have the same problem with the lower rate/ceil?

What's the load and memory usage on that box ?

I'm running HTB to split 512Kb DSL connection between two people, and it
seems to be working as expected... I can't remember any figures - but
never had reason for concern.
This is a P166 (no MMX), and 96Mb memory, and has NFS/HTTP/MYSQL
happening much of the time.
