Hi, I need some information for my bachelor report project :
while using netfilter with ip_queue, I like to have a variable delay (up to ~50ms) before I verdict "NF_ACCEPT" to a packet. So my calculation: 100M/bit lan, a ip-packet size of 2048byte and a delay of maxium 50 ms => to store ~306 packetes. Can the "buffer" of ip_queue handle that? I read in a mail by AEF from Fri Jan 11 20:22:54 2002: > The queue's internal "buffer", so to speak, is limited and the > documentation says that it will simply begin dropping packets > if nothing is handling them. I looked at any documentation, but I coudn't find answers. So my questions: by what is the size of the ip_queue's internal "buffer" limited? Is the limited a timeout, number of packets or memory? Can the "buffer" be increased? If yes, please give me a short guidance where and how? Many thanks in advance Tassilo
