General shaping rules
- Make sure YOU are the bottleneck (it's better to slow down the link to make sure the big buffers of the routers will be empty): so limit all traffic to 95% of the link bandwidth.
- You can only shape outgoing bandwidth.
For the more experienced shapers among us : you can shape incoming bandwidth with the policer in the filters or the virutal imq device. - Experiment with some simple scripts so you understand them.
- "copy and paste" from a working script is the best start you can make.
- It's bit when there is bit, otherwise it's byte.
kbps = kilobyte/s
kb = kilobyte
kbit = kilobit/s or kilobit - Don't add an htb/cbq/tbf qdisc to a class, it will only create extra delays and eat cpu cycles
- The lower the prio, the higher the priority
- CBQ :
- never use the isolated parameter
- provide a weight parameter
- bandwidth parameter = NIC bandwidth
