Probably I am going to continue imq development, so I know about it something. IMQ is very unpredictable you can use it all week or it may crash at once. and what is the most strange - crashes osccur everywhere in the kernel except in the driver itself this can be kernel bug as well. under high loag it crashes quite soom while in low load it can hold forewer this probably depends on cpu speed and looks that it tends to crash if you try to shape localy generated trafic if you use it for ingress only it wont have much problems. I have no hope to make it work, I rewrote the code completely few times and no use probably this way just cant work. I am going to use completely other way to do the same job. imq is trying to use userspace queue which dont like when packets are droped and seems there is no way to avoid droping while doing trafic shaping, so I will use another way by completely removing packets from iptables at some place and transmitting them directly where needed. thus replacing part of kernel code. this way I will be able at least to track the bug. P.S. iptables have another similar module ( ROUTE target ) i tryed it and it works in some cases ( i redirect trafic to lo interface) but not very good. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael S.
