Is there any chance that we will get IMQ incorporated in future releases of netfilter/kernel? The development was picked up again (it was unmaintained). You can see it here: www.linuximq.net They have patches for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. IMQ, for those who don't already know, IMQ allows for NATting AND providing Bandwidth Control up/downstream. It Creates an Intermediate Queueing Device that can be used to do the QoS stuff, while the regular Ethernet adapter can perform the NAT. I have been using IMQ for a very long time (Network with 500 users), and I can vouch for its stability. It keeps me from having 2 daisy-chained routers on site. Flames or comments are welcome...C'mon, anybody else out there uses IMQ? Have a great day, Peter Frischknecht
