That was not my question. The listed items are not selectable as
modules. They can only be compiled into the kernel or turned off. I list
them again, they reside in the < QOS and/or fair queueing > section:

[*]   QoS support
[*]     Rate estimator

[*]   Traffic policing

"*" is the default selection.

Thank you!
Greetings, Nils

Only needed if you want to implement QOS support so other devices on the=20
network can send requestst for bandwidth.

This can be used for the "Traffic policing" to calculate the rate of
the=20
packets.

This is sort of tbf-in-filter.  You can configure a filter to only match=20
packets at a certain rate.

You don't need these options to use SFQ, HTB, fw and/or u32.
