Need help on 2.6.11 and pom-ng HEAD

Need help on 2.6.11 and pom-ng HEAD

[Wang Jian]

Hi,

I am working on an enterprise project that use linux + netfilter + tc as
a QoS control device.

Beside ordinary conntrack helper, the following things are needed:

 directx8-conntrack-nat
 h323-conntrack-nat
 ipp2p
 mms-conntrack-nat
 quake3-conntrack-nat
 rtsp-conntrack
 nfnetlink-ctnetlink-0.13

Some of above thigns are brought to 2.6.x only after 2.6.11. So I
decided to use 2.6.11 or coming 2.6.12.

But I failed to patch 2.6.11 with HEAD of trunk of pom-ng without
modification. I tweak 2.6.11 source code for insertion point in
ip_conntrack.h, and the conntrack helper can be applied but can't be
compiled. And Pablo Neira's nfnetlink-ctnetlink-0.13 patches for 2.6.11
can't be compiled too.

Can someone give me a hint on this issue?

you will have a really long job.  Most of them are neither fully ported
nor tested.

Hi Harald Welte,

Sigh. Then I have to do it myself? Which tree is the most suitable to
start from? Can you give me some suggestion?

I think it is better to work on a stable API. Then I can try bring
current half ported things to fully ported.

Now I am writing a per flow rate control qdisc. I wish I can finish it
in this week. Then I can put my time on netfilter.

Sigh, it is already Friday. I have only 2 weeks left for beta test, and
alpha stage is not clear yet :(
