Dear reader, I'm not updating these pages anymore. If you have tc or ip related questions, you can post them on the LARTC mailing list.

Documentation

I found this information almost everywhere. Source of kernel and tc, lartc mailing list, HOWTO's, friends who are so kind to mail me more info, ... .

When you use the tc command, you have to remember that mb = 1024 kb = 1024 * 1024 b = byte/s and that mbit = 1024 kbit = 1024 * 1024 bit = bit/s. So if there is bit, it's bit otherwise it's byte.

The best you can do is reading the LARTC pages on http://lartc.org/. They contain a lot of information.

general: general information about the elements of QOS: qdiscs, classes, filters, numbering, ...

Second example from mailing-list: I received an email regarding the ingress qdisc. It's a small explanation how someone was able to get the ingress qdisc working on RH7.1.
