[Netnice-developer] Re: SOURCEFORGE.net project - netnice

[Takashi O. <ta...@cs...>]

hi,

since we'll make substantial modification to the main branch for the
monitoring feature in the coming several months, it might be better
for you to join after the period. meanwhile, you are really welcome
to subscribe the developer ML, to get used to the project activity.

regarding the userland programmability, it is actually one of the advantages
of the approach, over other implementations of network traffic control,
such as ALTQ, Linux Traffic Shaper, dummynet, OpenBSD PF, ipfw, etc...
So, we are investing on the extension of netniced, which is a flexible
platform for traffic monitoring and control. This daemon offers JavaScript
environment for various traffic control and  monitoring (after the planned
extension). you may find useful info at the following locations. if time
permits, pls just take a look at the intro of our CCGrid paper, which is
the most complete description of the daemon available at this point of time,
and might satisfy some of your current needs.

	http://www.netnice.org/documents.html


regarding the library support, i think the class-library of the daemon
can be easily transformed into such form. if you could contribute for
this part, it would be really nice. :-)


thanks!

p.s.

i'm CC'ing the message to the devel-ML just for information sharing purpose.
if you feel it uneasy, please let me know (and forgive me!)
