[Cake] overhead and mpu

[Dennis Fedtke]

Hi Sebastian,

here is the outout:

config queue
         option debug_logging '0'
         option interface 'eth1.100'
         option qdisc 'cake'
         option enabled '1'
         option qdisc_advanced '1'
         option qdisc_really_really_advanced '1'
         option linklayer 'none'
         option egress_ecn 'NOECN'
         option upload '19000'
         option verbosity '5'
         option ingress_ecn 'ECN'
         option script 'layer_cake.qos'
         option download '150000'
         option squash_ingress '1'
         option squash_dscp '1'
         option iqdisc_opts 'docsis nat'
         option eqdisc_opts 'docsis nat'

But also see my last email please.

it seems that both devices use different default overhead (14 vs 18)

Thanks.

If you use tc's stab method for overhead accounting things will look different, as stab will add the full header size to pkt_len, so using tc stab you would probably see 1532 for an ecplicit overhead of 18 (as tc stab does not take the already accounted for header into account so if you request 18 on an ethernet interface you will effectively get 18+14 = 32.) It really is  a great feature of cake to undo the kernel's automagic length adjustment so that one can request overhead on top of the ethernet payload/the IP packets.
