Hi, Martin. which is your experience with frottle ? Which is your external AP ? Can you post your frottle configure files ? regards andres -> Hi, -> -> I'm trying to configure IMQ to work on the same machine with frottle -> (http://frottle.sourceforge.net). The problem is both feed themselves -> packets through netfilter queueing mechanism, but currently there can -> only be one netfilter queue per protocol family. -> -> To explain why I need IMQ in the first place I have to explain what -> frottle does. It is a deamon that tweaks the behaviour of a wireless -> network (overcoming some CSMA/CA traps that reduce performance in -> certain cases like hidden-node effect for example). For frottle to be -> effective it needs to control the outgoing traffic sent to the wireless -> network device. In my case it is an external AP with ethernet -> connection. -> So, my router has 3 NICs - one for WAN access, one for the wireless AP -> (that is connected to a distant AP, that servers other wired users), and -> one for users connected through wired LAN. -> -> Currently LAN NICs (the frottle one and the wired LAN) are put in a -> bridge, which altogether makes the whole LAN a flat one. -> -> Now about IMQ - there are users on the wireless and on the wired LAN -> that share a common internet connection. To be able to serve them in a -> predetermined, controlled fashion I want to put all traffic that goes -> out of eighter LAN NIC into IMQ device and impose QoS policy on top of -> it. This will allow to use in the most efficient manner all available -> WAN bandwidth. -> -> Is there any patch for 2.4.x kernel that allows multiple (cascading) -> queuing ? Is this limitation exists in 2.6 kernel ? -> -> Thanks -> M. Stavrev -> -> P.S. I know I can easily solve my problems by using two linux boxes - -> one for frottle and one for the internet shaping, still my question -> remains, any ideas would be appreciated. -> -> -> -> _______________________________________________ -> LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -> http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
