The man page tc-netem(8) documents this. However, iproute2 currently does not detect negative numbers as valid token. > $ tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 1024bps -14 > What is "-14"? > Usage: ... netem [ limit PACKETS ] I developed this patch while doing a student project at http://www.nav.ei.tum.de/. tc/q_netem.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html diff --git a/tc/q_netem.c b/tc/q_netem.c index f8489e9..2583072 100644 --- a/tc/q_netem.c +++ b/tc/q_netem.c @@ -147,6 +147,8 @@ static int get_distribution(const char *type, __s16 *data, int maxdata) } #define NEXT_IS_NUMBER() (NEXT_ARG_OK() && isdigit(argv[1][0])) +#define NEXT_IS_SIGNED_NUMBER() \ + (NEXT_ARG_OK() && (isdigit(argv[1][0]) || argv[1][0] == '-')) /* Adjust for the fact that psched_ticks aren't always usecs (based on kernel PSCHED_CLOCK configuration */ @@ -393,7 +395,7 @@ static int netem_parse_opt(struct qdisc_util *qu, int argc, char **argv, explain1("rate"); return -1; } - if (NEXT_IS_NUMBER()) { + if (NEXT_IS_SIGNED_NUMBER()) { NEXT_ARG(); if (get_s32(&rate.packet_overhead, *argv, 0)) { explain1("rate"); @@ -407,7 +409,7 @@ static int netem_parse_opt(struct qdisc_util *qu, int argc, char **argv, return -1; } } - if (NEXT_IS_NUMBER()) { + if (NEXT_IS_SIGNED_NUMBER()) { NEXT_ARG(); if (get_s32(&rate.cell_overhead, *argv, 0)) { explain1("rate");
