-------------------------------------- Catalin Macsim Phone: 092-756838 Network Coordonator - Nordnet Botosani Network Administrator - Petar Software A new version of ALTQ that supports FreeBSD-4.5, NetBSD-1.5.2 and OpenBSD-3.0 is now available. http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/~kjc/software.html -Kenjiro >From README: ALTQ -- Version 3.1 February 28, 2002 This is a release of Alternate Queueing for BSD UNIX. ALTQ provides queueing disciplines and other QoS related components required to realize resource-sharing and quality of service. The ALTQ release is intended to be a flexible platform to promote network research and gain field experience. ALTQ consists of a system framework, QoS components, and management tools. The system framework provides an abstraction of QoS components and interfaces QoS components into the existing operating system. The QoS components realizes actual service differentiation mechanisms. The management tools include altq daemon and altqstat monitoring tool. Note that ALTQ controls only outgoing traffic since queueing disciplines work only on outgoing interfaces. Now that ALTQ is being developed in the KAME repository, this standalone ALTQ release is back-ported from KAME, and supports only FreeBSD-4.5, NetBSD-1.5.2 and OpenBSD-3.0. (some tools and documents haven't been merged into KAME, and are available only in this release. OpenBSD-3.0 already integrates ALTQ so that this packages updates the ALTQ part. ALTQ in OpenBSD-current as of February 26 isn't much different from altq-3.1.) What's New since version 3.0: - ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) RFC3168 support - packet marking by ALTQ - ECN support in TCP - fragment/tunnel handling in IPv4/IPv6 the latter 2 are provided in a separate patch which can be applied to stock FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD. see README.ecn for more details. - JoBS by Nicolas Christin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> JoBS is a joint buffer management and scheduling algorithm. It provides, on a per-hop basis, absolute and proportional service guarantees to traffic aggregates. note that JoBS is still experimental and hasn't been integrated into KAME yet. - supports FreeBSD-4.5, NetBSD-1.5.2 and OpenBSD-3.0 - more supported drivers this release supports most network drivers in FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD - code cleanup/bug fixes You can get the latest ALTQ release from <http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/~kjc/software.html> or <ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/altq.tar.gz> You can get weekly KAME snap releases from <http://www.kame.net> __________________________________________________________ Send 'unsubscribe rofug' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to unsubscribe
