Hi there. Again, upgrading 2.4.2 to 3.0.2 and revisiting some of the issues that I ran into back when I first configured 2.4.2.
I'd like to use the shorewall traffic shaping capabilities, and have some nice recipes that are working fine in 2.4.2. >From my 2.4.2 configuration, I gather that to use these capabilities I need to load qos-htb and tc packages, and also need to load all the sched modules (from my 2.4.2 config /etc/modules) ### QoS ! dir /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched cls_fw cls_route cls_rsvp cls_rsvp6 cls_tcindex cls_u32 sch_cbq sch_csz sch_dsmark sch_gred sch_hfsc sch_htb sch_ingress sch_netem sch_prio sch_red sch_sfq sch_tbf sch_teql I also seem to need to load ipt_connmark ipt_CONNMARK as I do some per connection marking and restoring to use ipp2p effectively. Obviously all of these modules need to be declared in /etc/modules and (apparently) copied to /lib/modules and then backed up to floppy moddb.lrp I guess my question is if this appears to be sufficient to be able to use the three traffic shaping configuration files in shorewall, or if I'm missing something. Is there any LEAF specific documentation anywhere on setting up traffic shaping? In particular, the shorewall documentation is excellent in spelling out exactly which kernel modules need to be configured when building 2.4 and 2.6, but there is no corresponding LEAF documentation which states which modules are required to have all of the traffic shaping functionality required so that shorewall will work properly. >From my end here, and again perhaps this is more of a 3.1.0 thing, the 2.4.2 method for enabling traffic shaping strikes me as cumbersome. It would be nice if loading the tc package would automatically load the appropriate modules. Same with qos-htb. Having to configure the modules and load them manually, from floppy moddb.lrp, strikes me as inefficient. -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
