[LARTC] 2.2 vs 2.4 for TC

[LARTC] 2.2 vs 2.4 for TC

[Mike Fedyk]

Hi,

A while ago I saw a message saying that the TC features in 2.2 aren't
very mature, and I'm wondering what I'd be missing out on if I stayed
with 2.2 instead of using 2.4 now.

I'm quite familiar with ipchians, and advanced routing on 2.2.  I
don't plan on doing any layer 2 based rules, so that's not an issue.

TIA,

Mike

download 2.4.6
download 2.2.lastest

make a diff on net/sched directory and see the difference. You would
miss like  2000 lines of bugfixes if you stay with 2.2, but anyway 2.4.6
is not yet stable with "tc features", so if it works for you dont move
it until 2.4.15 or so ...

Are you saying that the QoS traffic control features have stability
problems, or is this just general 2.4 instability?

what I have listened and what my friends say general 2.4 is not very
stable. What I have seen myself is that 2.4 works ok for me, but since
the change logs for 2.4.x are full of "network update" stuff, i still
not very sure it is stable. 

About QoS traffic .... I just had posted about some problems in CBQ
code, even if I had incorretly set it up, it shouldn't freeze kernel, so
, as long as you understand it well and use the tc command correctly, it
will work for you. But what I am trying to do is to release it for
production where the end users would point & click for filter creation &
bandwidth definition, so I think it will be an adventure, but I am
accepting the risks... after all.... it's free code....

Nikolai
