Rate Limit in a Bridge?
|
|
|
| Hi all,
I have a bridge (br0) and I need to rate the number of packets per
second that is forwarded, is there a way to do this?
I`m trying with these rules
iptables -A FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-in eth0 -m limit --limit 1/
minute -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-out eth1 -m limit --limit 1/
minute -j ACCEPT
and nothing is done.
So, what can I do to solve this problem?

Concept of packet is related to layer 3 that is network layer.Bridge
operate at layer 2.You should use ebtables or Use a simple token
bucket filter.Rules you mention will not work with bridge.

Thanks, but does token bucket filter limit packet rate? I tried with
ebtables but the result is the same old shit...
