[LARTC] Kernel config for HTB

[LARTC] Kernel config for HTB

[Benjamin Goedeke]

Hello all, 

Reading through the list I realize that most of what you people talk
about is way over my head... But I'm trying. I'm new to all this traffic
shaping thing and I'm stuck at the very beginning: I'm trying to
configure my kernel so I can set up a HTB on my ppp0 interface. 

I'm running Debian sarge and have iproute2 installed (2.4.7). I
downloaded kernel 2.4.20-rc2 which includes the HTB code. Now I gathered
that I need to enable CONFIG_NETLINK and CONFIG_RTNETLINK among other
options. However, for the life of mine I can't find these options. Even
when I grep through the .config file they don't show up. I see
CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV but that's it. And when I want to set up a qdisc on
ppp0, for instance 

tc qdisc add dev ppp0 root handle 1:0 htb default 5 

all I get is

HTB init, kernel part version 3.7
HTB: need tc/htb version 3 (minor is 7), you have 10
"RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument" 

Can anyone please point me to the relevant section in menuconfig to
enable the CONFIG_*NETLINK options

Thanks, 
Ben

wrong tc version :)

CONFIG_NETLINK does not exist anylonger on any 2.4 kernel. 2.2 have this 
config option.

Download this: http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/v3/htb3.6-020525.tgz

extract it, you'll see a "tc" binary. Do a "mv ./tc /sbin" and try the above 
again and you'll see that it works :) ... That binary has the needed patches 
for tc already applied to use HTB.

have fun :)

You need to enable CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV option.  And all the options under "QoS 
and/or fair queueing" menu.

Have you patched tc so you have htb support?  I don't know if the tc command 
that comes with debian has htb support.

The tc command that comes with debian woody (the current stable distribution)
has htb support, but unfortunately it is for the old htb version. 

It seems unlikely that this will change soon (new version are normally not
introduced in stable).

This has allready been reported:
http://bugs.debian.org/167149

The unstable distribution could include an updated version in the near future
(but as far as I can tell, this isn't the case yet).

Greetings,

Ivo De Decker
