Hi all, I am using a HTB qdisc with one intermediate class and half a dozen leaf classes. All leaf classes (other than the first) are allowed to starve all classes below them (far from ideal, but a hard requirement). Things work fine, but it seems that prio is more or less ignored. I found one online source that claimed that due to the fact that virtual interfaces don't have a buffer, their send queue is always empty and thus prio would not do anything. Yet, I can hardly believe that. I would appreciate any input on this. You can find my current config at [1]. Please, no discussions about starving the lower classes. I know. -- Richard [1] http://paste.debian.net/80919/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
