|

|

<listitem>
|
||
<para>Shorewall attaches an SFQ queuing discipline to each
|
||
leaf HTB class. SFQ ensures that each
|
||
<firstterm>flow</firstterm> gets equal access to the
|
||
interface. The default definition of a flow corresponds
|
||
roughly to a Netfilter connection. So if one internal system
|
||
is running BitTorrent, for example, it can have lots of
|
||
'flows' and can thus take up a larger share of the bandwidth
|
||
than a system having only a single active connection. The
|
||
<option>flow</option> classifier (module cls_flow) works
|
||
around this by letting you define what a 'flow' is. The
|
||
classifier must be used carefully or it can block off all
|
||
traffic on an interface! The flow option can be specified for
|
||
an HTB leaf class (one that has no sub-classes). We recommend
|
||
that you use the following:</para>
|
||
|
||
<simplelist>
|
||
<member>Shaping internet-bound traffic:
|
||
flow=nfct-src</member>
|
||
|
||
<member>Shaping traffic bound for your local net:
|
||
flow=dst</member>
|
||
</simplelist>
|
||
|
||
<para>These will cause a 'flow' to consists of the traffic
|
||
to/from each internal system.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>When more than one key is give, they must be enclosed in
|
||
parenthesis and separated by commas.</para>
|

|

<para>To see a list of the possible flow keys, run this
|

command:</para>
|

||
<blockquote>
|

<para><command>tc filter add flow help</command></para>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
|
||
<para>Those that begin with "nfct-" are Netfilter connection
|
||
tracking fields. As shown above, we recommend flow=nfct-src;

that means that we want to use the source IP address

<term>Example 1:</term>
|
||
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>Suppose you are using PPP over Ethernet (DSL) and ppp0 is the
|
||
interface for this. You have 4 classes here, the first you can use
|
||
for voice over IP traffic, the second interactive traffic (e.g.
|
||
ssh/telnet but not scp), the third will be for all unclassified
|
||
traffic, and the forth is for low priority traffic (e.g.
|
||
peer-to-peer).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The voice traffic in the first class will be guaranteed a
|
||
minimum of 100kbps and always be serviced first (because of the low
|
||
priority number, giving less delay) and will be granted excess
|
||
bandwidth (up to 180kbps, the class ceiling) first, before any other
|
||
traffic. A single VoIP stream, depending upon codecs, after
|
||
encapsulation, can take up to 80kbps on a PPPoE/DSL link, so we pad a
|
||
little bit just in case. (TOS byte values 0xb8 and 0x68 are DiffServ
|
||
classes EF and AFF3-1 respectively and are often used by VOIP
|
||
devices).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Interactive traffic (tos-minimum-delay) and TCP acks (and ICMP
|
||
echo traffic if you use the example in tcrules) and any packet with
|
||
a mark of 2 will be guaranteed 1/4 of the link bandwidth, and may
|
||
extend up to full speed of the link.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Unclassified traffic and packets marked as 3 will be
|
||
guaranteed 1/4th of the link bandwidth, and may extend to the full
|
||
speed of the link.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Packets marked with 4 will be treated as low priority packets.
|
||
(The tcrules example marks p2p traffic as such.) If the link is
|
||
congested, they're only guaranteed 1/8th of the speed, and even if
|
||
the link is empty, can only expand to 80% of link bandwidth just as
|
||
a precaution in case there are upstream queues we didn't account
|
||
for. This is the last class to get additional bandwidth and the last
|
||
to get serviced by the scheduler because of the low priority.</para>
