tc_config is a software that contains Linux traffic control scripts designed to manage network traffic. It offers users a collection of useful tools for controlling network speed, delay, and packet loss. With it, users can effectively manage network traffic to optimize the performance of their systems.
tc_config is a traffic control software package that provides a comprehensive set of scripts exclusively designed for Linux 2.4+ traffic control configuration on Red Hat systems and their derivatives. Its root qdisc is the cbq qdisc, while its leaf qdisc uses the sfq algorithm.
The tc_config package also comes with the snmp_pass utility, which is specially designed for capturing statistical data on traffic control via SNMP. Users can download the tc-config-0.6.tar.gz package and run 'rpm -tb tc-config-0.6.tar.gz' on their Red Hat 8+ systems to facilitate the building process. Once built, users can install the new package using the command 'rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/tc-config-0.6-1.i386.rpm'.
To operate tc_config correctly, users must have the libsplit and snmp_pass requirements installed on their systems. For this latest release, v0.6, users can now take advantage of the software's new feature, which includes the optional INTERNET_SIDE_DEV and CLIENT_SIDE_DEV parameters for using imq to shape traffic for pppoe clients on a specific eth interface.
Furthermore, the updated version of tc_config marks packets on ppp+ devices (CLIENT_SIDE_INT) for from_client packets, while to_client packets are shaped on the imq0 device (CLIENT_SIDE_DEV). Finally, the latest release also includes a makeshift to fix compilation issues with the kernel 2.4.22 version.
