[LARTC] Simple question... where to find last stable version of HTB

[LARTC] Simple question... where to find last stable version of HTB

[EC]

Hi,

New to traffic shaping I would like to make some tests. It's for a
production server (fw), using 2.4.27 kernel.

Something is not clear to me about HTB... is the last stable version
included in the 2.4.27 kernel and iproute2 (iproute2-2.6.8-040823.tar.bz2) ?
Are there special patches to apply ?

EC.

OK.
Actually, I do not have any trouble (some tests done with TBF/SFQ and CBQ).
However, since I intend using HTB and as some people talk about 2.4.27
kernel problems with it.. I was wondering before diving in ... :)
Will probably use wonder shaper for first tests.

Thx !

Use this to test the kernel:

grep "changes from state" /user/src/linux/net/sched/sch_htb.c

If it isn't there, then 2.4.27 does not include the latest.  Should it
be the case that 2.4.27 doesn't include this text, you should post that
here for posterity.  You DID google "2.4.27 LARTC", didn't you?!!

The most recent stable iproute2 is 2.6.9 so yours should be fine; it is
the one I use.

You MUST compile your own kernel after setting PSCHED_CPU in 
linux/include/net/pkt_sched.h so patching HTb if needed is No Big Deal.

If your tc returns error messages for things that should work, use the
binary from Devik's site.
