Hello there! Using Kernel 2.4.19. The modules I intend to use are SFQ queue, HTB packet scheduler, Firewall based classifier and the U32 classifier. Witch of the following options _NEED_ to be enabled? I ask, because the goal is to have the kernel as small as possible. < QOS and/or fair queueing > [*] QoS support [*] Rate estimator [*] Traffic policing Thank you! Greetings, Nils _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/

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!

You can configure a filter to only match packets at a certain rate. You don''t need these options to use SFQ, HTB, fw and/or u32.
