Limiting interface bandwidth with tc under Linux

view full story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I have a linux router which has a 10GBe interface on the outside and bonded Gigabit ethernet interfaces on the inside. We have currently budget for 2GB/s. If we exceed that rate by more than 5% average for a month then we'll be charged for the whole 10GB/s capacity. Quite a step up $$$. So, I want to limit this to 2GB/s on 10GBe interface. TBF filter might be ideal, but this comment is of concern. On all platforms except for Alpha, it is able to shape up to 1mbit/s of normal traffic with ideal minimal burstiness, sending out data exactly at the configured rates. Should I be using (HowTos)

Stories similar to Limiting interface bandwidth with tc under Linux

I have an embedded linux system with two network interfaces (lan0, wlan0) that are configured to the same subnet. A server on this system accepts tcp connections on both interfaces.

How I can assure that that all responses for a session are send on the same interface that the request was received on? I.e.

I am trying to perform data rate limiting on VLAN traffic within a network (on Mininet) using the tc tool. I have multiple VLANs in my network and I am trying to set the same data rate limit on all VLANs in my network.

My aim is to set a data rate limit on each of the VLANs so that none of the data flows using a VLAN exceed the set limit.

Intro - We are planning on applying for Bandwidth-on-Demand from our ISP which gives us upto 8Mbps of data upsteam/downstream.

Hi all,

I have a router running Linux 2.4.26-tier-4801. It has two wireless interfaces. The LAN interface is eth0 and the WAN interfaces are ath0 and ath1. Router is running zebra routing software.

The main issue is that no traffic is transiting the LAN interface.

I have an Ubuntu machine acting as a router/Stateful Firewall/NAT for my internet connection. It has a couple of ethernet ports and a wireless network for my home network (eth5, eth7, eth10 and wlan1). It is connected with a DSL modem in bridged mode giving it a connection to the internet called ppp0.

my question is similar to this question, however with some change.

I have a PPPoE connection on my Linux Machine (CentOS kernal 2.6.32) as a client, so that when i setup this connection, another vritual tunnel interface comes up i.e ppp0

This connection is setup over existing physical interface eth0.

I have a Linux box with two interfaces: one for data and the other for management purpose.

I need to build a test environment to communicate with a hardware device that has a 10Gbe comms port and that uses a SFP+ connector.

So I need a 10Gbe NIC for a Windows/Linux PC, and that NIC should have a SFP+ connector.

Would anyone like to recommend a suitable NIC please?

The cable length will only be a few metres. I guess I should use a SFP+ Direct Attach cable.
