IPv6 traffic shaping

Question

With the second IPv6 Launch Day behind us, i'm stuck waiting for traffic shaping support on IPv6 before i can deploy it to our network.

• i currently use m0n0wall as a router with its IPv6 support, but it does not support shaping of IPv6 traffic
• pfSense (a branch of m0n0wall) does not support IPv6

Is there any pc-based router that supports traffic shaping of IPv6?

Answer 1

traffic shaping ipv6 using tc for linux

tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 256kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:2 htb rate 256kbit
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ipv6 parent 1:0 prio 1 u32 match ip6 dst 2001:a:b:c::2/64 flowid 1:1
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ipv6 parent 1:0 prio 1 u32 match ip6 src 2001:a:b:c::2/64 flowid 1:2

Why not use a Linux box with a dual IP stack and iptables/tc?

Shorewall appears to do IPv6 based traffic shaping. http://www.shorewall.net/simple_traffic_shaping.html
