![]() Current HTB (and TBF) uses rate table computed by the "tc" userspace program, which has the following issue: The rate table has 256 entries to map packet lengths to token (time units). With TSO sized packets, the 256 entry granularity leads to loss/gain of rate, making the token bucket inaccurate. Thus, instead of relying on rate table, this patch explicitly computes the time and accounts for packet transmission times with nanosecond granularity. This greatly improves accuracy of HTB with a wide range of packet sizes. Example: tc qdisc add dev $dev root handle 1: \ htb default 1 tc class add dev $dev classid 1:1 parent 1: \ rate 5Gbit mtu 64k Here is an example of inaccuracy: $ iperf -c host -t 10 -i 1 With old htb: eth4: 34.76 Mb/s In 5827.98 Mb/s Out - 65836.0 p/s In 481273.0 p/s Out [SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 669 MBytes 5.61 Gbits/sec [SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 6.50 GBytes 5.58 Gbits/sec With new htb: eth4: 28.36 Mb/s In 5208.06 Mb/s Out - 53704.0 p/s In 430076.0 p/s Out [SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 594 MBytes 4.98 Gbits/sec [SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 5.80 GBytes 4.98 Gbits/sec The bits per second on the wire is still 5200Mb/s with new HTB because qdisc accounts for packet length using skb->len, which is smaller than total bytes on the wire if GSO is used. But that is for another patch regardless of how time is accounted. Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for review and feedback. Signed-off-by: Vimalkumar <j.vimal@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
