Re: [LARTC] IMQ stability

[Andre Correa <andre.correa@pobox.com>]

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
