hey

im doing some work on the linux traffic control system, how it proforms etc..

i want to set up an experiment with 2or3 pcs networked via a redhat machine running as a router with one of the nodes fireing off traffic to increase the network load, then run a file transfer, for example, between the other two pc's and mointor jitter delay etc.. on the router and how the different queing mechanisms effect proformance.

at the moment im having trouble getting the redhat box to act as a router. all the nodes have 192.168.231.x address's and the routing table seems fine, is there anything im missing? would it be better to have the nodes on a different subnet?

any advice would be great

You should avoid posting the same question in more than one place, although this isn't exactly the same question as your other thread - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=156359 - it's pretty close.

I would suggest you have a read of http://lartc.org to find out about traffic shaping/control. It gets rather 'deep' in places though, so if you are new to Linux it may take a fair bit of reading!

cheers

yah i've read through it tons of times

i was wanting the opinions of acutal users.

Ah, right.

Which aspect did you want the opinions on? Which control methods to use, and what peoples experience of them has been?

cheers

yeha

how people thought it shaped up to other systems that offerd a similar service, how it compared to hardware solutions etc...

Hi

Linux Traffic control is very new topic to me and I am a trying to explore the iproute package .Checking out some developmental stuff in the package someway. I am looking out for some of the senario implementation done using tc qdisc and tc class.Can u provide me such info .I have been through lrtc site but its does not help much on to find as to what common sencarios that are generally used everywhere.
