Note: This script has recently been upgraded and previously only worked for Linux clients in your network! So you might want to update if you have Windows machines or Macs in your network and noticed that they were not able to download faster while others were uploading.
I attempted to create the holy grail:
This means that downloading or uploading files should not disturb SSH or even telnet. These are the most important things, even 200ms latency is sluggish to work over.
Even though http is 'bulk' traffic, other traffic should not drown it out too much.
This is a much observed phenomenon where upstream traffic simply destroys download speed.
The next section explains in depth what causes the delays, and how we can fix them. You can safely skip it and head straight for the script if you don't care how the magic is performed.
ISPs know that they are benchmarked solely on how fast people can download. Besides available bandwidth, download speed is influenced heavily by packet loss, which seriously hampers TCP/IP performance. Large queues can help prevent packet loss, and speed up downloads. So ISPs configure large queues.
These large queues however damage interactivity. A keystroke must first travel the upstream queue, which may be seconds (!) long and go to your remote host. It is then displayed, which leads to a packet coming back, which must then traverse the downstream queue, located at your ISP, before it appears on your screen.
This HOWTO teaches you how to mangle and process the queue in many ways, but sadly, not all queues are accessible to us. The queue over at the ISP is completely off-limits, whereas the upstream queue probably lives inside your cable modem or DSL device. You may or may not be able to configure it. Most probably not.
So, what next? As we can't control either of those queues, they must be eliminated, and moved to your Linux router. Luckily this is possible.
By limiting our upload speed to slightly less than the truly available rate, no queues are built up in our modem. The queue is now moved to Linux.
This is slightly trickier as we can't really influence how fast the internet ships us data. We can however drop packets that are coming in too fast, which causes TCP/IP to slow down to just the rate we want. Because we don't want to drop traffic unnecessarily, we configure a 'burst' size we allow at higher speed.
Now, once we have done this, we have eliminated the downstream queue totally (except for short bursts), and gain the ability to manage the upstream queue with all the power Linux offers.
What remains to be done is to make sure interactive traffic jumps to the front of the upstream queue. To make sure that uploads don't hurt downloads, we also move ACK packets to the front of the queue. This is what normally causes the huge slowdown observed when generating bulk traffic both ways. The ACKnowledgements for downstream traffic must compete with upstream traffic, and get delayed in the process.
If we do all this we get the following measurements using an excellent ADSL connection from xs4all in the Netherlands:
Baseline latency: round-trip min/avg/max = 14.4/17.1/21.7 ms Without traffic conditioner, while downloading: round-trip min/avg/max = 560.9/573.6/586.4 ms Without traffic conditioner, while uploading: round-trip min/avg/max = 2041.4/2332.1/2427.6 ms With conditioner, during 220kbit/s upload: round-trip min/avg/max = 15.7/51.8/79.9 ms With conditioner, during 850kbit/s download: round-trip min/avg/max = 20.4/46.9/74.0 ms When uploading, downloads proceed at ~80% of the available speed. Uploads at around 90%. Latency then jumps to 850 ms, still figuring out why. |
What you can expect from this script depends a lot on your actual uplink speed. When uploading at full speed, there will always be a single packet ahead of your keystroke. That is the lower limit to the latency you can achieve - divide your MTU by your upstream speed to calculate. Typical values will be somewhat higher than that. Lower your MTU for better effects!
Next, two versions of this script, one with Devik's excellent HTB, the other with CBQ which is in each Linux kernel, unlike HTB. Both are tested and work well.
Works on all kernels. Within the CBQ qdisc we place two Stochastic Fairness Queues that make sure that multiple bulk streams don't drown each other out.
Downstream traffic is policed using a tc filter containing a Token Bucket Filter.
You might improve on this script by adding 'bounded' to the line that starts with 'tc class add .. classid 1:20'. If you lowered your MTU, also lower the allot & avpkt numbers!
