I found this information allmost everywhere. Source of kernel and tc, mailing lists, 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.

Most of the time you can specify a prio parameter. In theory, the rules with the highest priority will be checked first. This prio is a number between 0 and 7.

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

BandWidth Management

I wrote some explanation on how you can create a script to manage the bandwidth on a link. I wanted to create a setup tool that generates the script, but that was to difficult.

qdiscs

explanation of the different qdiscs

filters

explanation of the different filters

example from mailinglist

This is from a post on the LARTC mailinglist. It's an example of managing the bandwidth on a 65k dialup connetion with the prio qdisc and tbf.

Second example from mailinglist

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.

I have a local copy of the document in the docs of the WRR that explains in generally Traffic Control.
A link to the WRR homepage can be found in the links section. Other documents from the project can be found here (local copy).
