Debian 4.0 has all I need including iptables and tc, but _not_ L7 filter
or ipp2p :-(
You should look into Zeroshell, which has L7 (haven't tried it)

Shorewall appears to have ipp2p (but apparently not L7?)
and it looks like there are add ons to IPCop.
It is sad it is not easier... I looked into L7 etc. and ended up
deciding that is is such an imperfect way of classifying data that it is
better (for me at least) to instead choose a different policy -
prioritize ssh, VOIP and web by port and then prevent each host from
hogging more than their fair share of the total bandwidth.
But e.g. DD-WRT (embedded distro for wireless routers like the WRT54GL)
seems to do a quite good job of it (with L7).
sincerely,
Nicolas

hi all,
I'm writing not for technical problems but for a simple question.
Do You know if there is a distro which is ready for traffic shaping
etc. 'out of the box'?
I mean a distro which does not require patching the kernel and/or
iptables and/or installing from source etc. and gives the user most of
the tools needed (imq, ipp2p, l7filter and so on).
many thanks
riki
