IFB is intended to replace IMQ.
|
|
Advantage over current IMQ; cleaner in particular in in SMP;
|
|
with a _lot_ less code.
|
|
|
|
Known IMQ/IFB USES
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
As far as i know the reasons listed below is why people use IMQ.
|
|
It would be nice to know of anything else that i missed.
|
|
|
|
1) qdiscs/policies that are per device as opposed to system wide.
|
|
IFB allows for sharing.
|
|
|
|
2) Allows for queueing incoming traffic for shaping instead of
|
|
dropping. I am not aware of any study that shows policing is
|
|
worse than shaping in achieving the end goal of rate control.
|
|
I would be interested if anyone is experimenting.
|
|
|
|
3) Very interesting use: if you are serving p2p you may wanna give
|
|
preference to your own localy originated traffic (when responses come back)
|
|
vs someone using your system to do bittorent. So QoSing based on state
|
|
comes in as the solution. What people did to achive this was stick
|
|
the IMQ somewhere prelocal hook.
|
|
I think this is a pretty neat feature to have in Linux in general.
|
|
(i.e not just for IMQ).
|
|
But i wont go back to putting netfilter hooks in the device to satisfy
|
|
this. I also dont think its worth it hacking ifb some more to be
|
|
aware of say L3 info and play ip rule tricks to achieve this.
|
|
--> Instead the plan is to have a contrack related action. This action will
|
|
selectively either query/create contrack state on incoming packets.
|
|
Packets could then be redirected to ifb based on what happens -> eg
|
|
on incoming packets; if we find they are of known state we could send to
|
|
a different queue than one which didnt have existing state. This
|
|
all however is dependent on whatever rules the admin enters.
|
|
|
|
At the moment this 3rd function does not exist yet. I have decided that
|
|
instead of sitting on the patch for another year, to release it and then
|
|
if theres pressure i will add this feature.
|
|
|
|
An example, to provide functionality that most people use IMQ for below:
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
export TC="/sbin/tc"
|
|
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev ifb0 root handle 1: prio
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev ifb0 parent 1:1 handle 10: sfq
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev ifb0 parent 1:2 handle 20: tbf rate 20kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev ifb0 parent 1:3 handle 30: sfq
|
|
$TC filter add dev ifb0 protocol ip pref 1 parent 1: handle 1 fw classid 1:1
|
|
$TC filter add dev ifb0 protocol ip pref 2 parent 1: handle 2 fw classid 1:2
|
|
|
|
ifconfig ifb0 up
|
|
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
|
|
|
|
# redirect all IP packets arriving in eth0 to ifb0
|
|
# use mark 1 --> puts them onto class 1:1
|
|
$TC filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 10 u32 \
|
|
match u32 0 0 flowid 1:1 \
|
|
action ipt -j MARK --set-mark 1 \
|
|
action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0
|
|
|
|

Run A Little test:
|
|
|
|
from another machine ping so that you have packets going into the box:
|
|
-----
|
|
[root@jzny action-tests]# ping 10.22
|
|

|
|

|
|
64 bytes from 10.0.0.22: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.6 ms
|
|
|
|

|
|

You send it any packet not originating from the actions it will drop them.
|
|
[In this case the three dropped packets were ipv6 ndisc].
