Advantage over current IMQ; cleaner in particular in in SMP;
|
|
with a _lot_ less code.
|
|
Old Dummy device functionality is preserved while new one only
|
|
kicks in if you use actions.
|
|
|
|
IMQ 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.
|
|
IMQ 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 dummy 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 dummy 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 function does not exist yet. I have decided instead
|
|
of sitting on the patch to release it and then if theres pressure i will
|
|
add this feature.
|
|
|
|
What you can do with dummy currently with actions
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Lets say you are policing packets from alias 192.168.200.200/32
|
|
you dont want those to exceed 100kbps going out.
|
|
|
|
tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 10 u32 \
|
|
match ip src 192.168.200.200/32 flowid 1:2 \
|
|
action police rate 100kbit burst 90k drop
|
|
|
|
If you run tcpdump on eth0 you will see all packets going out
|
|
with src 192.168.200.200/32 dropped or not
|
|
Extend the rule a little to see only the ones that made it out:
|
|
|
|
tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 10 u32 \
|
|
match ip src 192.168.200.200/32 flowid 1:2 \
|
|
action police rate 10kbit burst 90k drop \
|
|
action mirred egress mirror dev dummy0
|
|
|
|
Now fire tcpdump on dummy0 to see only those packets ..
|
|
tcpdump -n -i dummy0 -x -e -t
|
|
|
|
Essentially a good debugging/logging interface.
|
|
|
|
If you replace mirror with redirect, those packets will be
|
|
blackholed and will never make it out. This redirect behavior
|
|
changes with new patch (but not the mirror).
|
|
|
|
What you can do with the patch to provide functionality
|
|
that most people use IMQ for below:
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
export TC="/sbin/tc"
|
|
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev dummy0 root handle 1: prio
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev dummy0 parent 1:1 handle 10: sfq
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev dummy0 parent 1:2 handle 20: tbf rate 20kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev dummy0 parent 1:3 handle 30: sfq
|
|
$TC filter add dev dummy0 protocol ip pref 1 parent 1: handle 1 fw classid 1:1
|
|
$TC filter add dev dummy0 protocol ip pref 2 parent 1: handle 2 fw classid 1:2
|
|
|
|
ifconfig dummy0 up
|
|
|
|
$TC qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
|
|
|
|
# redirect all IP packets arriving in eth0 to dummy0
|
|
# 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 dummy0
|
|

Run A Little test:
|
|
|
|
from another machine ping so that you have packets going into the box:
|
|

|
|
[root@jzny action-tests]# ping 10.22
|

|
-----
|
|
|
|
Dummy continues to behave like it always did.
|
|
You send it any packet not originating from the actions it will drop them.
|
|
[In this case the three dropped packets were ipv6 ndisc].
