Hello, I am trying to set up a FreeBSD 5.4 box as a ECN-marking router to test = some QoS scenarios. I am a newbie to FreeBSD, based on my current = understanding, ALTQ can be compiled to FreeBSD 5.4 kernel by enabling = the following options. options ALTQ options ALTQ_CBQ # Class Bases Queuing (CBQ) options ALTQ_RED # Random Early Detection (RED) options ALTQ_RIO # RED In/Out I could see altq_*.o generated after compilation. However, I was not = able to find the corresponding altq_*.ko after "make install". I am = wondering if anybody on the list could give me some help on this. Another related question is "Do I need to enable packet filter to use = ALTQ?" It seems to me that packet filter establish the queue for altq = and altq (if enabled) will act based on the policy used. Is it correct? = What is the relation between PF and ALTQ? How do I configure altq to make the freebsd box a ECN router and how to = verify if indeed a packet is marked by altq on the router? The last question is where to find documentation on how to configure = ALTQ and FP on FreeBSD 5.4? I checked and followed the instructions on = the handbook and still feel confused. Your help is greatly appreciated. Xi > ______________________________________ Xi Wang, Ph.D.
