[bwm-tools-tech] what to run bwm on

[Mark D. <ma...@du...>]

I read somewhere that bwm was mostly created under Ubuntu, but then I 
downloaded it, tried to get it working, but find out that Ubuntu 6 
does not even have GCC on it, can't even find it on the CD..

Can someone tell me what distro your running on..   Does it run on 
FreeBSD?   what does it use if it runs on BSD?  Iptables as well?  - 
maybe I'm not versed enough in BSD yet.

Can someone tell me how bwm compares to ipfw on BSD?

Thank you,
Mark


-I AM a newbie, but I have recompiled kernel and gotten ipfw to delay 
my pings, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to forward 
packets through the box.

Hi Mark,

Bwm works very well on redhat or centos. It is better than Ipfw as it can
control bandwidth by port, ip addresses, interface etc.

Iptables are required for bwm as they do the marking of the packets.

Forwarding on a linux box is east. Just edit the /etc/sysctl.conf and change
the net.ipv4.ip_forward to 1 (enable forwarding).

Hi Mark,
> I read somewhere that bwm was mostly created under Ubuntu
Where'd you read this?

BWM Tools was/is designed and created entirely under IDMS Linux
(www.idms-linux.org). Tests & bugfixing is carried out under VMWare
instances of other distributions such as Fedora, Debian & Ubuntu.
However other contributors may of used different tools and environments.

To install gcc on ubuntu do an apt-get install build-essential and it
will work. I know that BWM works on an ubuntu based server because I
have tried it. Although I ended up not using ubuntu in production
using CentOS 4.3 instead.
