[LARTC] Installation problems- QoS layer 7 packet filter

[wong cheongseng]

VERY URGENT!!! Hey, i'm final year student in upm. I have install linux 
Redhat 9.0. Wish to build up Qos linux packet filter using kernel-2.4.20.8
i have follow the instruction which i download from internet. But i 'm not 
very understand about the
instruction. The following step have been done by me:-

1) Patch the L7-kernel patch to the kernel (success)
2) Re-compile the kernel (success)
3) Enable layer-7 filtering (success)

4) After i unpack "tar xvzf iproute2_w_layer7_patch-0.9.3.tar.gz"
   Inside there, i found a TC folder- 31 items
  - tc patch - how does the TC link against the new kernel header???         
                   (question)
  - I have make the symbolic link from /usr/src/linux to 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20.8
  - Where should i put the files inside the TC folder???                     
                             (question)
  - When i "make" to compile, it show me error and tell me to compile the 
kernel first??? (question)
  - Since the tc folder have many files, which should i copy to /sbin/tc???  
                      (question)

5) Protocol definitions
  - after unpack the latest pattern from l7-filter.sourceforge.net
  - i tried to cat all the pattern to /proc/net/layer7_protocols,
    but found error "no such files and directory" - Anythings i did wrong??  
                      (question)

Please reply me as soon as possible. Very urgent!!!
Thank you.

I don't know where you got this file from, so I can only guess at the answers:

tc won't "link" against the new kernel headers, but it may use them when compiling.
unless your environment is broken, it will automatically look in /usr/src/linux/include


>  - Where should i put the files inside the TC folder???
Which files?
If they are .diff files, you use the 'patch' program to patch them into the original 
tc source files.

>  - When i "make" to compile, it show me error and tell me to compile the kernel first???
You may need to run a top level 'make config' (menuconfig or xconfig) and 'make dep' 
in /usr/src/linux to setup some files correctly for your system.

>  - Since the tc folder have many files, which should i copy to /sbin/tc???
After you've finished the 'make' (or maybe 'make install') the Makefile will 
automatically copy the correct binary to /sbin/tc (or probabaly /usr/local/sbin/tc )
You don't have to do it yourself, unless you're hacking.

Mailing lists and newsgroups aren't always the quickest source of info.. I find 
google faster most of the time.

You're welcome.

Thank you very much Damion de Soto.
You're rite, i'm in final semester now. This is my final year project, must 
be finished and submit
within this 3 months. Actually i search for so many web site to get the 
instruction build up Qos layer7 packet filter. But i really not very 
understand the given instruction.
I got the latest TC patch files in "http://sourceforge.net".
I'm very fresh in using Linux.
Anyway, I will try it myself. Thank you!!
