Hello everyone,
I am interested in using the QOS features (probably CBQ) in the linux
2.x kernels. After searching DejaNews, the comp.os.linux.* newsgroups,
and the linux mailing lists, I have not come up with much of anything on
this subject. Question #1 - Is this stuff still alive? It seems to
compile into the kernel just find and there are recent updates to the
userspace tc/iproute tools, but I see almost no discussion about the
subject!
If there is documentation beyond the short README on the tc/iproute FTP
site, please point me to it! I have found the background papers by
Floyd/VanJacobson, but I'm looking for some real examples and detailed
explanation of all of the parameters to tc/iproute.
I have no problem experimenting, but after about five minutes, I managed
to oops the kernel, something which I can't afford to do on my WWW
server :)
In case anyone knows how this stuff works and is willing to help me out
, here is a brief explanation of what I would like to do:
* I want 'infinite' priority for my interactive outgoing traffic and
rather high priority for my outgoing bulk data transfers. All other
users should share remaining bandwidth equally.
* I would like to limit overall bandwidth during 'peak hours' and remove
limits during the non-peak hours, but only for WWW/FTP users, not my own
traffic.
I hope that this part of the kernel is still alive. It seems that a lot
of people would be interested in using it. I'm surprised that there is
not more discussion on the topic...
Any help is appreciated, especially if anyone can point me to a doc that
covers all of the tc/iproute parameters.
Thanks for any help,
Mike
