Hi Damion, the original IMQ implementation is under development by a group of people working at www.linuximq.net . There you'll find patchs for the lastest kernels and iptables, a simple FAQ and a mailling list.
IMQ is being used by a lot of people in diferent environments. Some of then, like mine, are production with a large bandwidth being shaped.
There are some known problem and we've being working on then. Two known issues are: some hangs trying to shape locally generated traffic and some rmmod problems on 2.6.
The 2.6 version of IMQ is just a port of the original 2.4 version.
I would like to invite you to join our mailling list and give IMQ a try. Right now it is more stable then people have being saying around and there are some guys working on it, releasing patchs for latest kernels and iptables and looking to its future.
Good luck.
Andre

Hi,
I've never actually even tried to use the IMQ device before,
but I've watched the emails go back and forth on various problems associated with it, and what looks like some general instability.
How stable is it really ? Is it suitable for full-time use on a large number of routers ?
Has anyone used it on ipsec0 + eth0 devices for shaping ?
and lastly, any difference between the IMQ implementation on 2.4, and that on 2.6 ?
Are they both still being developed ?
thanks,
