Hi, >Can someone point me to some documentation on using the QoS features in >the 2.2 series kernels? Also has anyone been using this, if so what kinda >of results are you getting? I have used it. But it took a lot of time to get the neccsarry understanding. Currently it seems to be neccesarry to understand how the things are implemented in the kernel. Because all the available documentation (that I have been able to find) seems to deal with that. The best text I have seen is: "Quality of Service Support in Linux" by Saravanan Radhakrishnan. I can't remember where I found it, but I guess a search on some of the search engines of the net will bring it up. Another good text is: "Linux Trafic Control - Implementation Overview" by Werner Almesberger. These (especially the second) will explain the generel concepts used in the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel then implements a lot of different modules based on these concepts. Basically it implements two kind of modules: Queuing disciplines Filters The most interesting queueing discipline is the CBQ discipline. CBQ is described in a scientific article called "Link-sharing and Resource Management Models for Packet Networks". There is a reference to this article in the source code and it is available on the net. The article is difficult to read, especially when you are new to QoS as I was when I read it. About the filters I have not mannaged to understand any of the implemented filters. I have not tried very hard, though. You might be able to find a reference on the RSVP filter on the net since it seems to some kind of standard filter not specific to the Linux kernel. I have written a queing discipline myself. I will probably realese within not very long time together with some generel description of the QoS features in Linux.
