FireQOS for Debian GNU/Linu =========================== FireQOS has to be enabled in /etc/default/fireqos to get started; to enable it set START_FIREQOS to anything else than NO/no. Variables set into /etc/default/fireqos are exported into by the init script /etc/init.d/fireqos, such that they are carried out when fireqos is launched from it while, otherwise, they are generally ignored. Kernel options for FireQOS ========================== FireQOS utilizes the kernel magic, especially the special devices called IFB (Intermediate Functional Block): the kernel has to have support for IFB devices (either build-in or as module). First NET_CLS_ACT must be enabled: Networking support -> Networking Options -> QoS and/or fair queueing -> Actions then the option IFB: Device Drivers -> Network Device Support -> Intermediate Functional Block support -- Jerome Benoit Fri, 20 Jan 2017 20:45:42 +0000
