TC/Traffic Control: Error: Invalid handle.

[valcryst]

OS: CentOS 8 TC: iproute-tc 5.3.0-1.el8 Tunneldigger: Master (installed 1 week ago)

Problem: If a node with Traffic Limits connects to the tunnelbroker i see this inside the logs:

Okt 08 09:14:45 broker2.ff-en.de python[1699]: [INFO/tunneldigger.limits] Setting downstream bandwidth limit to 5000 kbps on tunnel 61000.
Okt 08 09:14:45 broker2.ff-en.de python[1699]: Error: Invalid handle.

TC Output also looks different.

Is there a specific version of TC we have to install, to get this working again?

Regards

EDIT: Old rules stay forever and wont get removed.

I have seen these errors for quite a while already, and I think they are harmless -- traffic control still works for me even with these errors.

I think these errors come from here: https://github.com/wlanslovenija/tunneldigger/blob/c187581a702c4cf060b966169c651d8a7a568046/broker/src/tunneldigger_broker/traffic_control.py#L31

Due to os.system, the error still gets printed to stderr, but no exception is raised due to ignore_fails.

TC Output also looks different.

What is the exact command you used to generate that output? It is well possible that current CentOS just uses a different version/implementation of that tool than old Ubuntu so the same state looks different. Unfortunately I don't have any idea how to interpret this output.^^

The important bit is, does traffic shaping actually work? If the only problem is those error messages, that's a bit annoying, but not a problem.
