[Netnice-kernels] Netnice for Linux

[Scott B. <sco...@ve...>]

Hi,

I have committed changes to CVS that provides a minimally working
netnice implementation on Linux.  I am still experiencing some crashes
and the internals are still not completely ported (vif_rm and vif_free
are not being executed).  But I am able to create new vifs and assign
them to processes using NNFS and then create client/server tcp
sessions.

To get these latest changes from cvs do:

 $ cvs co -r netnice267 Linux

For compilation configuration I suggest the following.  Select netnice
kernel support from 'networking support->networking options->netnice
for linux'.  Select nnfs from 'filesystems->pseudo
filesystems->netnice filesystem support'.  I also need to disable SMP
support from 'processor type->symetric multi-processing support'.


With a kernel built and running, mount the nnfs file system like this

 # mkdir /nnfs
 # mount -t nnfs none /nnfs

Open up the vifs like this

 # echo 1000K > /nnfs/network/eth0/bandwidth
 # echo 1000K > /nnfs/network/lo/bandwidth

Run a tcp session:

 # telnet somehost.com
