TC interface

TC interface

[Anton]

Hello!

I'm trying to figure out how to interface with the kernel's 
qos structires. I've found libiptc HOWTO - but it's very 
outdated and provides only IPTABLES manipulation, not 
traffic scheduler. Could anyone please advice, if there is 
a C library, which provides an abstraction for easier 
manipulation with kernel internals to not use "tc" 
and "iptables"?

Best regards to everyone,
Anton.

Looks like everyone is too proud to answer a simple newbee 
question...

This should cover tc:

There isn't a C api for iptables other than libiptc, and
it isn't meant to be used outside of iptables anyway.

Also google showed me http://www.coverfire.com/lql/
but I know nothing about it.

Thanks for answer Philip! I googled half a day before asking 
a question in the list and found a few thigs which deals 
with netlink messaging but all outdated, and I thought that 
there might be a library to deal with this stuff and make 
things a little easier.
Thanks again!
Anton.
