+.
+__What is available in Linux QoS support?__
+
+__Prior to 2.4__, the kernel had the following:
+* Each network device has a queue associated with it.
+* There are 11 types of queuing disciplines currently supported in linux .
+* Each queue has a scheduler associated with it. Queuing disciplines and classes are tied to one another.
+* Filters, which are used to classify packets based on certain properties of the packet, e.g., TOS byte in the IP header, IP addresses, port numbers etc.
+
+__What Linux 2.4 can do for you?__
+summarised from [here|http://www.ds9a.nl/2.4Routing/HOWTO//cvs/2.4routing/output/2.4routing.html]
+
+* Throttle bandwidth for certain computers
+* Throttle bandwidth TO certain computers
+* Help you to fairly share your bandwidth
+* Protect your network from DoS attacks
+* Protect the internet from your customers
+* Multiplex several servers as one, for load balancing or enhanced availability
+* Restrict access to your computers
+* Limit access of your users to other hosts
+* Do routing based on user id (yes!), MAC address, source IP address, port,
+* type of service, time of day or content
+
+The iproute2+tc package is required for accessing the QoS features of the kernel. #8216tc#8217 (traffic conditioner) is used to set up queues, classes and filters. It uses netlink sockets to interface with the kernel. -- ''in English - it does the Band-width-division, creating traffic 'classes', blah, blah ....''
+
+[There are a few QoS-related HOWTOs here|http://www.ds9a.nl/2.4Routing/HOWTO//cvs/2.4routing/output/2.4routing.html].
+
+__QoS Stuff from U. of Kansas __

+measurements, etc.. -- also contains Linux Diff-Serv Patches__

+
+__DiffServ On Linux__
+
+From what I understand, 2.2.x series probably does not support DiffServ directly, so it needs patches, available from [here.|http://icawww1.epfl.ch/linux-diffserv/dist.html] 2.3 kernels already contain all the changes to support Differentiated Services.
+
+My earlier posting about the [report|http://www.ittc.ukans.edu/%7Ersarav/projects/networking/ipqos/diffoverview/] made by the University of Kansas on Linux QoS support, [[which said: the kernel cannot differentiate between Assured Forwarding (AF) and Expedited Forwarding (EF)]</u > -- __they used a much older kernel version__. Hence, for supporting EF and AF forwarding behaviours on a Linux router (old kernels), a tool called Diffspec was developed by the University of Kansas.
+
+__Diffspec__
+
+Diffspec, can support both EF and AF forwarding behaviours. It is in the form of a daemon diffspec, which runs on a Linux box with enabled QoS features. The code for this tool can be [downloaded from here.|http://www.ittc.ukans.edu/%7Eanu/courses/800_report/code_download.html]
+
+From my reading so far, you ''probably'' also need the following tools/patches for supporting DiffServe on linux: iproute2, ds-2 patch (both available from [here|http://qos.ittc.ukans.edu/]).
