Hi there,

I have been trying out tcng and HTB on a loopback.

I wrote a tcng script like this:

#include "fields.tc"
#include "ports.tc"

#define ISCSI_IF lo

dev ISCSI_IF {
egress {
class (<$iperf_1>) if tcp_dport == 5001;


htb() {
class (rate 40 Mbps, ceil 40 Mbps) {
$iperf_1 = class (rate 40 Mbps, ceil 40 Mbps) {};

}
}
}
}

However, tcng generated the tc script like the following. Note that
the rate and ceil value is 5 Mbps instead of the 40 Mbps specified in
the tcng script. Anyone has any idea about that?

Another problem is that even if I modify the tc script manually
changing 5,000,000bps to 40,000,000bps, I still only get around
5,000,000bps from the test traffic, which is measured using Wireshark.
Is it a limit of HTB or I missed something?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jack
