My ISP has requested that I limit my traffic to 150 mbps, so I executed this command.

Code:
tc qdisc add dev eno1 root tbf rate 150mbit latency 50ms burst 15mb


The command works fine and the resulting traffic is now flat at 150 mbps. Now I want to
make sure that it is executed every time I restart networking.

My question: In what file should I put such a command? All the Gentoo networking docs I have
found are tutorials that don't mention post_start commands. Reading net.lo, there
is some mention of post_start, but it is not documented that I could see.

The only thing I found by trawling the internet was from lartc.org, where they say:

Quote:
15.10.4. Making all of the above start at boot

It sure can be done in many ways. In mine, I have a shell script in /etc/init.d/packetfilter that accepts [start | stop | stop-tables | start-tables | reload-tables] it configures qdiscs and loads needed kernel modules, so it behaves much like a daemon. The same script loads iptables rules from /etc/network/iptables-rules which can be saved with iptables-save and restored with iptables-restore.

OpenRC:
Create or edit file local.start in /etc/local.d/ that contains your command. This will be executed after normal startup sequence.

Systemd:

Right. That looks good. Just one question. How do you know that this will be executed after the network comes up? Is local always the last thing started?

For systemd it's automatic because you're adding the dependencies in the file.

For openrc, it's run after everything is set up. You can also create your own service and start it much like systemd but I think this is simpler overall.

Thanks. I was thinking that baselayout would handle it in /etc/conf.d/net, maybe with some line like

tc_eno1 = "some tc command"

but I guess I must have reached baselayout's limits.

You may also be able to add

Code:
postup() {
tc qdisc add dev eno1 root tbf rate 150mbit latency 50ms burst 15mb
}


in your /etc/conf.d/net ... I haven't tried this, this might be a nicer way that's dependency aware...

Yeah, that is what I was looking for. I didn't see that documented anywhere.

Regards,
