[LARTC] leaky bucket on bursty multicast

[Oivind]

Thanks for replying :)
I have been playing a bit with the following setup, but unfortunately I
am confused about how to specify the queue length of my multicast class
below, to absorb the small bursts seen. It would be great with an example,
for example with a megabyte buffer.

# QDISC
tc qdisc replace dev eth3 root handle 1: htb default 30

# CLASSES
# root class
tc class replace dev eth3 parent 1:  classid 1:1  htb rate 5mbit ceil 5mbit
burst 50Kb cburst 100Kb
# multicast class
tc class replace dev eth3 parent 1:1 classid 1:15 htb rate 5mbit ceil 5mbit
burst 50Kb cburst 100Kb
# other traffic
tc class replace dev eth3 parent 1:1 classid 1:30 htb rate 1mbit ceil 5mbit

#filters here (not shown)


Thanks,
Oivind
