[CentOS] CBQ and/or HTB help needed

[Maciej Żenczykowski]

OK, here's a very simple (working!) example script which simply limits 
upload to 15 Mbps.

htb.sh:

#!/bin/bash
#Some note from HTB documentation:
#Usage: ... qdisc add ... htb [default N] [r2q N]
# default  minor id of class to which unclassified packets are sent {0}
# r2q      DRR quantums are computed as rate in Bps/r2q {10}
# debug    string of 16 numbers each 0-3 {0}
#  ... class add ... htb rate R1 burst B1 [prio P] [slot S] [pslot PS]
#                        [ceil R2] [cburst B2] [mtu MTU] [quantum Q]
# rate     rate allocated to this class (class can still borrow)
# burst    max bytes burst which can be accumulated during idle period 
{computed}
# ceil     definite upper class rate (no borrows) {rate}
# cburst   burst but for ceil {computed}
# mtu      max packet size we create rate map for {1600}
# prio     priority of leaf; lower are served first {0}
# quantum  how much bytes to serve from leaf at once {use r2q}

set() {
   for i in 0; do
#   MAX=16000kbit
#   MAX=$[15*1024]kbit == 15360kbit < 16000 kbit
     MAX=15mbit
     tc qdisc del dev eth$i root
     tc qdisc add dev eth$i root handle 1:0 htb default 1 r2q 100
     tc class add dev eth$i parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate $MAX
#   tc class add dev eth$i parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb \
#     rate 15mbit burst $[1514 mtu 1514 quantum 1514
   done
}

show() {
   for i in 0 1; do
     tc -s qdisc list dev eth$i; tc -s class list dev eth$i
   done
}

$1


Call as ./htb.sh set or ./htb.sh show

Limits output on eth0 to 15mbit on set and shows settings on eth0 and eth1 
on show.

If you need a full fledged script (4*n+20 rules from a server doing HTB 
per user in an apartment LAN) than mail me...

Cheers,
MaZe.
