mod_iptos Description

mod_iptos can set IPTOS values on outgoing packets to assist traffic shaping. mod_iptos can set IPTOS values on outgoing packets to assist traffic shaping.I wanted bandwidth control for a few virtual hosts, but i did not like the userland methods -- they were inaccurate and buggy. I wanted to take advantage of the linux kernel traffic shaping which i was already using for managing my bandwidth costs. All i needed was a way to "paint" some packets from the webserver so that the traffic shaper could handle them appropriately.I chose to abuse the IPTOS bits ("type of service") to do this. Userland is able to select IPTOS bits via setsockopt. This gives a communication channel between the webserver and the traffic shaper, and makes me happy.And so mod_iptos was born.I've since learned that IPTOS are being updated/replaced by something called DIFFSERV... and it sounds cool. But since my hack is in place and working i haven't been motivated to go the next step with this module. Requirements: · Apache 1.3
