[Pardus-devel] Kernel QoS Sorusu

[Emre Erenoglu]

Hi Gorkem,

Of course I can resend it in English. Thanks for informing me.  I would also
like to use this opportunity to enhance the mail a bit with more
information.

I'm sorry to disturb your usual development process with this interfering
mail. I will try to use some  QoS functionality using the following script:

http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,13423584?hilite=ltss

However, the script has some prerequisites as mentioned below:

1. A modern Linux kernel /w HTB (http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/index2.htm
<http://luxik.cdi.cz/%7Edevik/qos/htb/index2.htm>) support *enabled and the
Netfilter module ipt_CLASSIFY.ko available (ipt_CLASSIFY.o for 2.4 kernels)
2. iproute /w tc that supports HTB
3. ipchains with CLASSIFY support (specifically libipt_CLASSIFY.so must be
included)

I would like to know if these prerequisites are supported in the
2.6.18kernel of Pardus
2007.1? Do I need to compile any new modules?

Myself, I checked the prerequisite # 3 and saw
/usr/lib/iptables/libipt_CLASSIFY.so  therefore I assume it is OK.
For #2, as far as I understood from Onur Kucuk's mail on the user list, HTB
is also supported.

The only thing that seems to be remaining, which I don't find in
/lib/modules (not found either in 2.6.19 and 2.6.20 and 2.6.22-5 ubuntu
kernels) is the prerequisite #1. I believe it changed name somehow.

My target is to adjust it so that any P2P traffic on that interface would
not affect normal user experience even on very high upload rates and that
the script adjusts the "upload" rate of the P2P applications (or any other)
dynamically depending on the current network utilization. It can also be
expresses as putting the P2P traffic to the lowest priority on the upload
queue.

I would also be very happy if thre's any GUI development for making such
function more available to the end-users. As you know, many users in Turkey
still have very limited upload bandwidth and need to use some kind of
traffic shaping (like cfospeed in M$ Windows) application. This may also be
one point preventing users from using Pardus. I know that at least my friend
was really complaining about it, that his internet experience sucks when he
uses P2P in Pardus in contrast to Windows with Cfospeed aid.

Thanks a lot for any information that you might provide,

Best regards,

Emre
