[LARTC] ECN vs. RED

[LARTC] ECN vs. RED

[Thomas Jalsovsky]

Hello,

	I read some documents about ECN (Exlicit Congestion Notofocation)
for Linux. Compiled the kernel with it and I turned it on. But I don't
know how can I use it with my shaper (HTB+IMQ) on an ADSL environment.
	I took a look into kernel sources and I found that RED uses ECN
(sch_red.c).
	So my question is: does RED works with ECN?
	I would like to use VoIP on ADSL line and I need to slow down the
up-/downstream. RED looks great for me (for queue with bulk traffic).
	Is it a good idea? What about GRED?

	Thanks in advance,
		Thomas

Yes, but you need to turn it on. See the tc sources :-(
