[LARTC] tcng version 9i

[LARTC] tcng version 9i

[Werner Almesberger]

... is on SourceForge:

http://tcng.sourceforge.net/dist/tcng-9i.tar.gz
md5sum 50f497a7539e4c03c5783b410b132127

See also http://tcng.sourceforge.net/

Highlights:

- added support for TBF with an inner queuing discipline
  (Kernel >= 2.4.22 or >= 2.5.75. iproute2 doesn't change.)
- added an ebuild script for Gentoo (contributed by "raptor")
- cleaned up the tcsim build process a little and added a script
  that runs all regression tests involving tcsim  on all supported
  kernels

Here's an example for the new and improved TBF:

tbf (mtu 1.5kB,limit 10kB,rate 1kBps,burst 2kB) {
    fifo;
}

(Since TBF doesn't really have classes, tcng won't let you try to
specify one. Internally, it adds a class, which is also visible
at the external interface.)

The complete list of changes is below.

Version 9i (22-NOV-2003)
------------------------

- tcc now supports TBF with an inner qdisc (tests/tbfqdsyn, tests/tbfqdtc,
  tests/tbfqdext, tests/tbfqdrun)
- removed redundant flag QDISC_HAS_DEFAULT
- added build/tcng.ebuild file for Gentoo (by "raptor")
- Makefile: added "gentoo" target
- setup.klib no longer uses a symbolic link to the original source tree
- configure: added option --no-defaults to skip loading of old config file
- tcsim/Makefile.unclean tcsim/modules/Makefile: object files now depend on the
  config file
- added scripts/minksrc.sh which extracts the files needed to build tcsim from
  a kernel tarball
- added scripts/compatibility.sh which runs all regression tests involving 
  tcsim for all supported kernel versions
- Makefile: added "compatibility" target
- "make sf-upload" now prints the MD5 message digest before uploading
- configure: removed 2.4.11 kernel, which was withdrawn
- configure: -k argument can be a kernel tarball
- runtests.sh: added option -t to run only tests probably using tcsim
- setup.klib: unconditionally defining LONG_MAX in include/linux/kernel.h broke
  2.5.4 builds
