Current state of this project: Grade: production, working on more than 40 hosts from June 2000, city-wide ISP network OS version: 3-STABLE from 8 January 2000 - this version currently used in our production routers/hosts Capabilities: guaranteed low bandwidth, maximum bandwidth, priority can be set for queue, traffic classification and bandwidth management realized by separate netgraph nodes. Since I currently have high workload, I dont have time to port it to 4.x or 5-CURRENT... Conclusion: volunteer required for this work... and I can consult him/her. -- Vitaly Belekhov System architect, AB-Telecom, Novosibirsk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
