<BR>Hello,&nbsp;<BR><BR>I'm now studying mpls&nbsp;QoS guaranteed traffic engineering.<BR><BR>I&nbsp;intended to test mpls traffic engineering in the document mpls-linux-labs_v1.950.<BR>Also I used the script included in it. But I have a problem to&nbsp;launch iptables command.
<P>In this forum I have read some threads about this error using another package version.&nbsp; (<A href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1ad2c10d0808140236kf4889dk6c65cf5262bc2996%40mail.gmail.com" target=_blank>http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1ad2c10d0808140236kf4889dk6c65cf5262bc2996%40mail.gmail.com</A>)<BR><BR><BR>Followings describe the script,<BR></P>

<P><BR>--&gt; Here, command output of iptables&nbsp;said&nbsp; 'iptables: Invalid argument type'.</P>
<P><BR><BR>I used&nbsp; the virtual machine on Vmware 6 and installed FC8 and mpls-linux packages.<BR>(downloaed from <A href="http://mpls-linux.sourceforge.net/fedora/8/sources/mpls/" target=_blank>http://mpls-linux.sourceforge.net/fedora/8/sources/mpls/</A>)<BR></P>
<P>details:<BR>- kernel-2.6.25.14-69.fc8.mpls.1.962<BR>- iptables-1.4.1.1-1.fc8.mpls.1.962<BR>- ebtables-2.0.8-3.fc8.mpls.1.962<BR>- iproute-2.6.22-2.fc8.mpls.1.962</P>
<P><BR>I donwloaded each rpms, srcs, and test both of them respectively.<BR>But iptables outputs&nbsp;had same error.</P>
<P><BR><BR>Is there any way to configure mpls QoS testing successfully with fc8 ?<BR>Isn't there any patch for fc8.mpls.1.961 until now ?<BR><BR>Or Do I have to use another kernel, <A href="http://2.6.18.1/" target=_blank>2.6.18.1</A>?<BR></P>
<P><BR>I 'm very confused to configure mpls QoS testing with using kernels, iptables etc.<BR>I don't know&nbsp;what versions are suitable for mpls QoS testing environment.</P>
<P><BR>I'll be very appreciate if you give me some information about this iptables error problem.<BR></P>
<P>And I hope someone summarize mpls-linux dependencies in order to avoid misconfigure.<BR><BR><BR>Thanks.<BR>KH Lee.</P>
