<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) for 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
|
|
rather the builtin support 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, it still might be a good idea to
|
|
take a deeper look into the <ulink url="http://ds9a.nl/lartc">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 normaly works ok. 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 the 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 SFW inside these classes to make
|
|
sure, that different data streams are handled equally.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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. So the only choice would be to drop them
|
|
which does 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 packages 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 queuing 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 connection to you providers router). So, if you
|
|
drop packages that are coming in too fast, the underlaying 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 qeueing 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>You will need at least kernel 2.4.18 for this to work, please take a
|
|
look at the following screenshot for what settings you need to enable. For
|
|
builtin support, you need the HTB scheduler, the PRIO pseudoscheduler and
|
|
SFQ queue. The other scheduler or queue algorithms are not needed.</para>

<para>You need this support whether you use the builtin support or whether
|
|
you provide your own tcstart script.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To enable the builtin traffic shaping and control in Shorewall, you
|
|
have to do the following:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Set <emphasis role="bold">TC_ENABLED</emphasis> to "Internal" in
|

/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. Setting TC_ENABLED=Yes causes Shorewall
|
|
to look for an external tcstart file (See <link linkend="tcstart">a
|
|
later section</link> for details).</para>

</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Setting <emphasis role="bold">CLEAR_TC</emphasis> parameter in
|
|
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf to Yes will clear the traffic shaping
|
|
configuration during Shorewall [re]start and Shorewall stop. This is
|
|
normally what you want when using the builtin support (and also if you
|
|
use your own tcstart script)</para>

<title>Using builtin traffic shaping/control</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>For defining bandwidths (for either devices or classes) please use
|
|
kbit or kbps(for Kilobytes per second) and make sure there is NO space
|
|
between the number and the unit (100kbit not 100 kbit). You generally
|
|
could use mbit or mbps or just Bytes, but i suggest to use kbit, as values
|
|
lether than 1 are not supported (NO 0.5mbit).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To properly configure the settings for your devices you might need
|
|
to find out, the real up- and downstream rates you have. This is
|
|
especially the case, if you are using a DSL connection or one of another
|
|
type that do not have a guaranteed bandwidth. There are several online
|
|
tools that help you find out, try ..... Don't trust the values your
|
|
provider tells you for this, especially measuring the real download speed
|
|
is important!</para>

<title>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The fwmark classifier provides a convenient way to classify
|
|
packets for traffic shaping. The /etc/shorewall/tcrules file provides a
|
|
means for specifying these marks in a tabular fashion.</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>

<para>MARK - Specifies the mark value is to be assigned in case of a

|
|
optionally followed by <quote>:</quote> and either <quote>F</quote>
|
|
or <quote>P</quote> to designate that the marking will occur in the
|
|
FORWARD or PREROUTING chains respectively. If this additional

specification is omitted, the chain used to mark packets will be

Please note that they are just examples and need to be adjusted to
|
|
work for you. In this examples 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 an 1:1 replacement doing exactly what wondershaper
|
|
should do. You are free to change it...</para>

<para>Wondershaper allows you to define a set of hosts and/or ports
|
|
you want to classify as low priority. To achieve this , you have to
|
|
add these hosts to tcrules and set the mark to 3 (true if you use the

|
example configuration files).</para>

<para>lets assume the following settings from you old wondershaper
