Hello, I am limiting egress traffic to 30Mbps (30mbit) using hbt with a leaf class for port 22. tc class add dev eth0 parent 20: classid 20:20 htb rate 30mbit ceil 32mbit prio 1 This all works as expected but I do see some messages in the log during heavy traffic pasted below. "HTB: quantum of class 100020 is big. Consider r2q change." From what I have read the quantum is calculated as (rate in bytes per sec / r2q-default 10). In my case 30mbit (30000000/8) / 10 = 375000 (3mbit). The reported quantum is significantly less but still receive the error in the kernel log. I read that the quantum is only used when >limit and <ceil. I am most definitely at ceiling at all times as I pass heavy traffic. So questions. Is there a right way to calculate the correct quantum? Are the kernel messages I am seeing indicative of a problem that I should be concened with? Thanks
