<title>Introduction</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Starting with Version 2.5.5, Shorewall has builtin support for
|
|
traffic shaping and control. Before this version, the support was quite
|
|
limited. You were able to use your own tcstart script (and you still are),
|
|
but besides the tcrules file it was not possible to define classes or
|
|
queueing discplines inside the Shorewall config files.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The support for traffic shaping and control still does not cover all
|
|
options available (and especially all algorithms that can be used to queue
|
|
traffic) in the Linux kernel but it should fit most needs. If you are
|
|
using your own script for traffic control and you still want to use it in
|
|
the future, you will find information on how to do this, <link
|
|
linkend="owntcstart"> later in this document</link>. But for this to work,
|
|
you will also need to enable traffic shaping in the kernel and Shorewall
|
|
as covered by the next sections.</para>
|

<title>Linux traffic shaping and control</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This section gives a brief introduction of how controlling traffic
|
|
with the linux kernel works. Although this might be enough for configuring
|
|
it in the Shorewall configuration files, we strongly recommend that you
|
|
take a deeper look into the <ulink url="http://lartc.org/howto/">Linux
|
|
Advanced Routing and Shaping HOWTO</ulink>. At the time of writing this,
|
|
the current version is 1.0.0.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Since kernel 2.2 Linux has extensive support for controlling
|
|
traffic. You can define different algorithms that are used to queue the
|
|
traffic before it leaves an interface. The standard one is called pfifo
|
|
and is (as the name suggests) of the type First In First out. This means,
|
|
that it does not shape anything, if you have a connection that eats up all
|
|
your bandwidth, this qeueing algorithm will not stop it from doing
|
|
so.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For Shorewall traffic shaping we use two algorithms, one is called
|
|
HTB (Hierarchical Token Bucket) and SFQ (Stochastic Fairness Queuing). SFQ
|
|
is easy to explain: it just tries to track your connections (tcp or udp
|
|
streams) and balances the traffic between them. This normally works well.
|
|
HTB allows you to define a set of classes, and you can put the traffic you
|
|
want into these classes. You can define minimum and maximum bandwitdh
|
|
settings for those classes and order them hierachically (the less
|
|
priorized classes only get bandwitdth if the more important have what they
|
|
need). Shorewall builtin traffic shaping allows you to define these
|
|
classes (and their bandwidth limits), and it uses SFQ inside these classes
|
|
to make sure, that different data streams are handled equally.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">If you are running Shorewall-shell or if you
|
|
are running Shorewall-perl 4.1.5 or earlier:</emphasis><blockquote>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">You can only shape outgoing traffic. The
|
|
reason for this is simple, the packets were already received by your
|
|
network card before you can decide what to do with them</emphasis>. So
|
|
the only choice would be to drop them which normally makes no sense
|
|
(since you received the packet already, it went through the possible
|
|
bottleneck (the incoming connection). The next possible bottleneck
|
|
might come if the packet leaves on another interface, so this will be
|
|
the place where queuing might occur. So, defining queues for incoming
|
|
packets is not very useful, you just want to have it forwarded to the
|
|
outgoing interface as fast as possible.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There is one exception, though. Limiting incoming traffic to a
|
|
value a bit slower than your actual line speed will avoid queueing on
|
|
the other end of that connection. This is mostly useful if you don't
|
|
have access to traffic control on the other side and if this other
|
|
side has a faster network connection than you do (the line speed
|
|
between the systems is the bottleneck, e.g. a DSL or Cable Modem
|
|
connection to your provider's router, the router itself is normally
|
|
connected to a much faster backbone). So, if you drop packets that are
|
|
coming in too fast, the underlying protocol might recognize this and
|
|
slow down the connection. TCP has a builtin mechanism for this, UDP
|
|
has not (but the protocol over UDP might recognize it , if there is
|
|
any).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The reason why queing is bad in these cases is, that you might
|
|
have packets which need to be priorized over others, e.g. VoIP or ssh.
|
|
For this type of connections it is important that packets arrive in a
|
|
certain amount of time. For others like http downloads, it does not
|
|
really matter if it takes a few seconds more.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you have a large queue on the other side and the router there
|
|
does not care about QoS or the QoS bits are not set properly, your
|
|
important packets will go into the same queue as your less
|
|
timecritical download packets which will result in a large
|
|
delay.</para>

<para>Unlike rules in the <ulink
|
|
url="manpages/shorewall-rules.html">shorewall-rules</ulink>(5) file,
|
|
evaluation of rules in this file will continue after a match. So the

final mark for each packet will be the one assigned by the LAST tcrule

</important>
|
|
|
|
<para>The fwmark classifier provides a convenient way to classify
|
|
packets for traffic shaping. The <quote>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</quote>
|
|
file is used for specifying these marks in a tabular fashion. For an
|
|
in-depth look at the packet marking facility in Netfilter/Shorewall,
|
|
please see <ulink url="PacketMarking.html">this article</ulink>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Normally, packet marking occurs in the PREROUTING chain before any
|
|
address rewriting takes place. This makes it impossible to mark inbound
|
|
packets based on their destination address when SNAT or Masquerading are
|
|
being used. You can cause packet marking to occur in the FORWARD chain
|
|
by using the MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN option in shorewall.conf.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Columns in the file are as follows:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>MARK or CLASSIFY - MARK specifies the mark value is to be
|
|
assigned in case of a match. This is an integer in the range 1-255.
|
|
This value may be optionally followed by <quote>:</quote> and either
|
|
<quote>F</quote>, <quote>P</quote> or "T" to designate that the
|
|
marking will occur in the FORWARD, PREROUTING or POSTROUTING chains
|
|
respectively. If this additional specification is omitted, the chain
|
|
used to mark packets will be determined as follows:</para>

|
</listitem>
|
|
|

<para>Otherwise, the chain is determined by the setting of the

|
|
</note>
|
|
|
|
<para>Normally, the mark is applied to the packet. If you follow the
|
|
mark value with ":" and "C", then the mark is applied to the
|
|
connection. "C" can be combined with "F", "P" or "T" to designate
|
|
that the connection should be marked in a particular chain (e.g.,

"CF", "CP", "CT").</para>

the buitin traffic control.You can find example configuration files at

|
|
Please note that they are just examples and need to be adjusted to
|
|
work for you. In this example it is assumed that your interface for
|
|
you internet connection is ppp0 (for DSL), if you use another
|
|
connection type, you have to change it. You also need to change the
|
|
settings in the tcdevices.wondershaper file to reflect your line
|
|
speed. The relevant lines of the config files follow here. Please note
|
|
that this is just a 1:1 replacement doing exactly what wondershaper
|
|
should do. You are free to change it...</para>

<para>If you are running traffic shaping in your dom0 and traffic shaping

doesn't seem to be limiting outgoing traffic properly, it may be due to

"checksum offloading" in your domU(s). Check the output of "shorewall show

<title>Intermediate Frame Block (IFB) Devices</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.1.6, Shorewall-perl includes support for
|
|
IFBs. The principles behind an IFB is fairly simple:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>It looks like a network interface although it is never given an
|
|
IPv4 configuration.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Because it is a network interface, queuing disciplines can be
|
|
associated with an IFB.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>The magic of an IFB comes in the fact that a filter may be defined
|
|
on a real network interface such that each packet that arrives on that
|
|
interface is queued for the IFB! In that way, the IFB provides a means for
|
|
shaping input traffic.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To use an IFB, you must have IFB support in your kernel
|
|
(configuration option CONFIG_IFB). Assuming that you have a modular
|
|
kernel, the name of the IFB module is 'ifb' and may be loaded using the
|
|
command <command>modprobe ifb</command> (if you have modprobe installed)
|
|
or <command>insmod /path/to/module/ifb</command>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>By default, two IFB devices (ifb0 and ifb1) are created. You can
|
|
control that using the numifbs option (e.g., <command>modprobe ifb
|
|
numifbs=1</command>).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To create a single IFB when Shorewall starts, place the following
|
|
two commands in <filename>/etc/shorewall/init</filename>:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting><command>modprobe ifb numifbs=1
|
|
ip link set ifb0 up</command></programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>Entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename> have no
|
|
effect on shaping traffic through an IFB. To allow classification of such
|
|
traffic, the /etc/shorewall/tcfilters file has been added. Entries in that
|
|
file create <ulink url="http://b42.cz/notes/u32_classifier/">u32
|
|
classification rules</ulink>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<section id="tcfilters">
|
|
<title>/etc/shorewall/tcfilters</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>While this file was created to allow shaping of traffic through an
|
|
IFB, the file may be used for general traffic classification as well.
|
|
The file is similar to <ulink
|
|
url="shorewall-tcrules.html">shorewall-tcrules</ulink>(5) with the
|
|
following key exceptions:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>The first match determines the classification, whereas in the
|
|
tcrules file, the last match determines the classification.</para>
|
|
</listitem>

|
|
|

|
<para>ipsets are not supported</para>

|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>DNS Names are not supported</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>filters are applied to packets as they <emphasis>appear on the
|
|
wire</emphasis>. So incoming packets will not have DNAT applied yet
|
|
(the destination IP address will be the external address) and
|
|
outgoing packets will have had SNAT applied.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>The last point warrants elaboration. When looking at traffic being
|
|
shaped by an IFB, there are two cases to consider:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Requests — packets being sent from remote clients to local
|
|
servers. These packets may undergo subsequent DNAT, either as a
|
|
result of entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/nat</filename> or as a
|
|
result of DNAT or REDIRECT rules.</para>
|
|
|

<para>The <command>shorewall show tc</command> (<command>shorewall-lite

commands:</para>

tc -s -d qdisc show dev $device
|
|
echo

tc -s -d class show dev $device

echo </programlisting>
