Hi all :)
After reading a bit of the HOWTO about traffic control and advanced routing, I have a doubt about the queue disciplines and traffic shaping.
I've seen that, except the 'ingress' qdisc (and maybe the hierarchycal token bucket) all other qdisc's seem to be only valid for outgoing traffic, although I suppose that some of those qdisc could be easily applied to incoming traffic.
But the key point is that: I think that the better way of controlling the incoming bandwidth is the Token Bucket Filter, just as the autor of the HOWTO says, but I think (may be wrong here) that the TBF is only valid for outgoing traffic. Moreover, if, just as the HOWTO says, we set up the TBF for controlling the incoming traffic at, lets say, 250kb/s for an ADSL access of 256kb/s, it won't control the outgoing traffic, since the bandwidth of that traffic is just 128kb/s. That is: TBF is not valid if applied to both incoming and outgoing traffic, and anyway I think that only controls the outgoing part.
Please excuse the continous questions about this subject, but I'm new to this and wanting to understand a bit this powerful feature.
Thanks in advance :) Raúl - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
