Hi All, at what network level is ALTQ (QoS) implemented? At the IP level or at the = driver level? I would think that all queuing functionality is probabliy working at the IP= level and should not depend on underlying interfaces. Is that correct? If = this is true, I don't understand why ALTQ must be supported by interface dr= ivers? If I understand it correctly: (1) the driver has to support ALTQ. (2= ) the driver has to be compiled as ALTQ-aware with some special flags. Thanks, Aleksej.
