[LARTC] tcng version 8v

[LARTC] tcng version 8v

[Werner Almesberger]

... is on SourceForge, http://tcng.sourceforge.net/#src

This is yet another maintenance release. The main feature is that
tcsim now supports HTB (well, it can configure it. I haven't tried
yet to actually run any traffic through it.). I've also advanced
all the surrounding infrastructure (regression tests, etc.) to
make this useful.

tcng needs a very recent 2.4.20 kernel pre-release and a patched
iproute2 source tree for HTB. tcng/README describes how the latter
is created.

The full change log is below.

Have you tried ftp.kernel.org?

Sure. From tcng/README:

| - obtain the Linux kernel source, version 2.4.3 or any later 2.4 kernel
|   or any 2.5 kernel from 2.5.0 to 2.5.4 (2.5.5 and above will be supported
|   at a later time)
[...]
| - obtain iproute2, version 991023, 001007, 010803, 010824, or 020116-try

So unless Mandrake mangled their source tree quite badly, this should
work just fine. Note that you need kernel and iproute2 sources only
for tcsim, but not if tcc is all you want.

If what you're interested in is HTB: You may even be able to get tcsim
to pick up HTB from an older kernel source tree if the HTB patch was
added manually.
