[LARTC] Any QoS API for programing under linux?

[LARTC] Any QoS API for programing under linux?

[shen jing]

I want to make use of QoS ability provided by Linux in program.
But, I found no document on it.

Would you please tell me where to get some document on it?

thanks

James Shen

Take a look at the rtnetlink and netlink manual pages, as well as the
source code of the "tc" command line utility. Together they should give
a reasonable impression of the API.

cheers,
Remco.

See the following files in a current copy of the Linux kernel sources:

linux/include/{linux,net}/pkt_{sched,cls}.h

That's about as much of an API as there is.

If you want more information on interfacing to this part of the kernel
then you need to do a close examination of the sources for Alexey
Kuznetsov's iproute2 tools, particularly the `tc' command.  Look for
iproute2-2.2.4-now-ss001007.tar.gz which is the latest release of these
tools.

WARNING: The internals of the QoS implementation in the Linux kernel are
not meant for mere humans to read.  :)
