Hello,

I browsed and searched the list archive, but the results were
less than satisfactory... so I try it 'actively', asking. 
Please CC any answer to me because I am checking the list thru the 
archives... thank you.

...kernel 2.1.124 (and on)...

First question: Is there any place containing documentations,
faqs, recommendations, ANYTHING about the whole new routing 
code? This includes policy routing, traffic shaping / queueing,
some brief descriptions about 'ip' and 'tc' commands... That
info many people here seem to possess but I'm unable to find
more than fragments of them... If there isn't any, just tell me,
it's a development-in-progress after all... *sigh*

(This reminds me that kernel documentation on this topic
is badly out of date.)

Second is a bit more frustrating. I have a machine sitting on
an ethernet, and it supposed to do accounting on the traffic
on the ethernet. The interface is promisc, and ipchains is
waiting for the packets. As I realized it does not do the
accounting at all. Input chain shows me 87654 incoming packets,
(in its header, and the number is fairly okay), but
the 'catch-all' rule (ipchains -I input -s 0/0 -d 0/0) counts
only 86 or them, obviously those directed to the machine itself.
Is it possible to account that traffic? (Seems quite hopeless
from here where I'm standing.)


Thank you,
Peter
