This sounds great. I'll read up on all the docs for 3.0 over the next few days and of course, ask questions. ;) >>Btw, what's wrong with shorewall's QOS implementation? 1 - requires shorewall (the goal here is QoS, not firewalling or trying to solve every problem in one package) 2 - the last I checked shorewall still required that you define your own QoS parameters, edit config files etc. In QBox, the default installation allows you to simply plug in your bandwidth specs and ports / IPs that you'd like to manage. 3 - QBox uses well tested queueing schemes. For example, would you want to apply SFQ (Stochastic Fairness Queueing) to video traffic? Short answer: no. Long answer: I've tried this, and found that every time the SFQ algorithm rehashes (default is 30 secs I believe) you will get 'pops' in audio and video. The goal of QBox is to allow someone who knows absolutely nothing about linux, queuing schemes, or text editors to implement QoS at home or a small to mid office environment. A friend of mine is running one on a 10Mb internet link no problem. I picked the PC Engines WRAP board as something I will maintain an image for, so people don't have to deal with any hardware / driver issues. My install directions include Windows step by step to use syslinux to install. If you use the WRAP board, it just works out of the box like a Linksys router or the like. Also, by sticking with some defined hardwaree platform(s), I hope to provide accurate measurements of throughput capability. This becomes more important as I add Layer 7 filtering capability.
