A way to prioritize certain network traffic over other network traffic. You can read what Charles wrote up for it in network.conf on Dachstein and then use ipchains -nvL to list the chains and examine the fairq chain. You'll be up to speed pretty quickly then. >I have noticed that the 2kserver is capable of this as > well as LEAF but again I assume LEAF will do it better, > and if I can allivate any pressure from that server Im > willing.... I'm not sure how Windows implements QoS. I can make lots of negative guesses. What LEAF QoS can do only affects packets passing through the router. It doesn't interact at the device driver level and modify packets with tags like the newer Intel Pro100 Server or Pro1000 nics can do. My guess is they work with Windows Servers like that. LEAF boxes sort of squeeze the pipe smaller for lower priority traffic so that your infrequent ssh doesn't get drowned out, for instance. > what my picture dosent show is that the > domain consists of abot 35 workstations right now, > and the other two workgroups are about 10 each...... I was wondering if you were ever going to say a fan goes out on those, but I guess you're not in a dusty area. > I have a new project I would like any pointers on, > if possible / practical. > a LEAF box with a 100gig HD. connected to 3 or 4 win 9x pc's > just simple file sharing, What are you going to run, NFS? It's been done. Oxygen would be a good system to use because it's already bare bones when you boot it with one diskette. It doesn't presume to be a router, and there are no ipchains rules to get in the way with the single diskette boot. Then you just use a second diskette with a few packages on it, like the nfs ones and sshd, etc. Or you could use a hard drive for booting and everything. It just a small matter of fdisking, and syslinuxing, with a bit of .cfg and /etc text file tuning. QoS is not implemented in Oxygen by the author the way it is in Dachstein.
