[LARTC] Bandwidth Allocation...

[Gerry Weaver]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to this too, but if I understand correctly, you can do 
this with htb.


tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb

tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate  <your total 
bandwidth>

tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 128kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:11 htb rate 128kbit

tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:1 protocol ip prio 1 u32 \
match ip src 192.168.1.1 flowid 1:10
tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:1 protocol ip prio 1 u32 \
match ip src 192.168.1.2 flowid 1:11

It is my understanding that as long as these classes don't have a leaf  
they will share excess bandwidth.


Anyone else want to comment?

Thanks,
Gerry
