Thanks for doing this Niccolo. However, I'd rather see it hosted at
vger.kernel.org for all the reasons previously outlined.

I was actually going to suggest a new list called net-users instead.
There is netdev, netfilter-devel and netfilter, but not a general
networking users list.

User questions do get asked on netdev, and some non-netfilter questions
get asked on the netfilter list, but it would seem sensible to have a
general networking users list that would include LARTC questions.

Comments anyone?

Andy

Might as well just go to netfilter for now, it's not like as if the 
traffic was as much as linux-kernel.

Yep, may as well, they seem to be posted there anyway. I was just
conscious that there doesn't appear to be many "tc" experts, because
those sort of questions don't get much of a response.

I'd love to spend some time on some tc documentation one day...

I would be interested in seeing a resurrected 'tc' list aimed more at
users/sysadmins than developers.

There has been a lot of mostly theoretical discussion about aqms and
the like on the bloat and bloat-devel lists, but when it comes down to
something that will actually work, not so much...

The tc documentation is littered with less than useful examples, when
they do exist, which is not often enough, and much of the public
documentation is old or hard to understand.

and I'd be glad to help get all that sorted out.

I think we should just create a new list called "LARTC", on 
vger.kernel.org, hosted on my own servers or wherever you want.
The most important thing is trying to keep alive the community around it.

Talk about blackboxes.

tc is like the selinux of networking.

Do we have access to lartc.org? Because if we have access we can even 
keep (and fix) the original mailing list, or at least dump the addresses 
database...
Otherwise we will have to make a completely new site too.

Isn't that what linux-net@vger.kernel.org is/was supposed to be about?
Not sure what's its status, it's no longer listed on
http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html, the last message I've received
on it was a month ago and it was mostly spam before that.

Hmmm, hadn't even come across that before.

Maybe not much interest for a users' list then...

I suggested to David to delete the linux-net list because it had very
low (legitimate) traffic and the people who could answer questions were
mostly subscribed only to netdev.  And since he agreed, it's gone.
