Hi Jason, right now I don't think anybody can assure stability on IMQ. My experience is that IMQ works fine in my enviroment that is a 2.4.23 PPPoE concentrator with ~70 users... It is up and running for more then a month without any problems.
What I would suggest you is to make some stability tests in a lab before putting it into production...
What kernel version will you use? It seens that 2.4.23 is the best bet for now.
IMQ has being unmaintained but there is a groups of people trying to get it on its way again. You can reach the brand new group at: http://www.linuximq.net ... There is not much new things yet, the work is just starting, but you, and everybody else, is more then welcome to join us there and share your results and needs.
tks and good luck

Hi,
There have been a number of threads lately discussing IMQ's stability (or lack thereof). I am about to roll out a new router and I quite badly need IMQ's functionality. This is a production environment, though, and random panics of course aren't acceptable.
My question is are there any circumstances under which IMQ is _stable_? The router will have about 6 interfaces, 2 of which will be to
(separate) upstream ISPs. The router must be able to manage the
bandwidth fairly between the remaining four interfaces, so I'll need
IMQ. Perhaps there is another solution?
Thanks, Jason.
