A new release of ALTQ (version 1.1.1) is now available from http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/software.html This version merges Julian's port to FreeBSD-current and works for both 2.2.x and -current. I haven't tested it much on -current, though. What's New since version 1.0.1: - FreeBSD-2.2.7 based. (altq major/minor device numbers changed!) FreeBSD-current support. - merge cbq2.0g (mostly copyright notices). Finally, Sun loosened its license term on the CBQ related files. Many Thanks to Michael Speer <speer@eng.sun.com>! - improved CBQ config file parser. filter-rule checker is added. config file syntax changed! (but still backward compatible) "borrow" no longer reqires "borrow_name" arg. - RIO dropper and traffic meter/tagger (diffserv model) integration of RIO dropper into CBQ. - RED parameters are more configurable. - ECN support update TCP ECN uses the CWR bit (defined in draft-kksjf-ecn-01.txt). - slip driver support. - usable over IPv6 (still experimental). - other bug fixes. - another diffserv implementation "adserv" is contributed by Octavio Medina <Octavio.Medina@enst-bretagne.fr> ALTQ has two independent diffserv implementations. You can get the latest ALTQ release from <http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/software.html>; or <ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/altq.tar.gz>; The kernel update-kit from the altq-1.0.1 kernel and for the FreeBSD-current kernel is also available from the above site. --- Kenjiro Cho Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a release of Alternate Queueing for BSD Unix. The idea behind this package is to provide better queueing schemes required to realize resource-sharing and quality of service. Currently, the only queueing scheme implemented in BSD Unix is the simple tail-drop FIFO queueing. The BSD Unix systems have no general method to implement alternate queueing schemes, which is the main obstacle to implement a new queueing scheme to BSD Unix. We have designed and implemented a generic alternate queueing framework for the BSD Unix systems, and ported Sun's CBQ onto this framework. The system can be used for resource reservation with the RSVP implementation from ISI. The goals of this project are three-fold: - to provide a framework to implement better queueing schemes. - to provide a link-sharing test-bed for network operators. - to provide a traffic control kernel to the RSVP community. The release has become fairly stable but still it is a research prototype. So use it at your own risk! All interfaces are likely to change in the future release. The release includes: alternate queueing support for FreeBSD-2.2.[12567]R kernel. CBQ, WFQ, RED, RIO and FIFOQ implementations tools for CBQ RSVP stubs for CBQ ECN support in RED and TCP diffserv model using the RIO dropper and traffic meter/tagger but lacks some of necessary documentation and functions. Some functions are implemented poorly. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
