     12 How to compile this.
     13 --------------------
     14 1. libdbm
     15 
     16 arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
     17 users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
     18 DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
     19 is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
     20 database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.
     21 
     22 2. make
     23 
     24 The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
     25 contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.
     26 
     27 3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
     28    look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
     29    PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
     30    PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
     31    and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
     32    are in your path.
     33 
     34 4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
     35    the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
     36    if you have special requirements and need to point at different
     37    kernel include files.

README.decnet

      1 
      2 Here are a few quick points about DECnet support...
      3 
      4  o iproute2 is the tool of choice for configuring the DECnet support for
      5    Linux. For many features, it is the only tool which can be used to
      6    configure them.
      7 
      8  o No name resolution is available as yet, all addresses must be
      9    entered numerically.
     10 
     11  o Remember to set the hardware address of the interface using: 
     12 
     13    ip link set ethX address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
     14       (where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the MAC address for your DECnet node
     15        address)
     16 
     17    if your Ethernet card won't listen to more than one unicast
     18    mac address at once. If the Linux DECnet stack doesn't talk to
     19    any other DECnet nodes, then check this with tcpdump and if its
     20    a problem, change the mac address (but do this _before_ starting
     21    any other network protocol on the interface)
     22 
     23  o Whilst you can use ip addr add to add more than one DECnet address to an
     24    interface, don't expect addresses which are not the same as the
     25    kernels node address to work properly with 2.4 kernels. This should
     26    be fine with 2.6 kernels as the routing code has been extensively
     27    modified and improved.
     28 
     29  o The DECnet support is currently self contained. It does not depend on
     30    the libdnet library.

README.devel

      1 Iproute2 development is closely tied to Linux kernel networking
      2 development. Most new features require a kernel and a utility component.
      3 
      4 Please submit both to the Linux networking mailing list
      5    <netdev (a] vger.kernel.org>
      6 
      7 The current source is in the git repository:
      8     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git
      9 
     10 The master branch contains the source corresponding to the current
     11 code in the mainline Linux kernel (ie follows Linus). The net-next
     12 branch is a temporary branch that tracks the code intended for the
     13 next release; it corresponds with networking development branch in
     14 the kernel.

README.distribution

      1 I. About the distribution tables
      2 
      3 The table used for "synthesizing" the distribution is essentially a scaled,
      4 translated, inverse to the cumulative distribution function.
      5 
      6 Here's how to think about it: Let F() be the cumulative distribution
      7 function for a probability distribution X.  We'll assume we've scaled
      8 things so that X has mean 0 and standard deviation 1, though that's not
      9 so important here.  Then:
     10 
     11 	F(x) = P(X <= x) = \int_{-inf}^x f
     12 
     13 where f is the probability density function.
     14 
     15 F is monotonically increasing, so has an inverse function G, with range
     16 0 to 1.  Here, G(t) = the x such that P(X <= x) = t.  (In general, G may
     17 have singularities if X has point masses, i.e., points x such that
     18 P(X = x) > 0.)
     19 
     20 Now we create a tabular representation of G as follows:  Choose some table
     21 size N, and for the ith entry, put in G(i/N).  Let's call this table T.
     22 
     23 The claim now is, I can create a (discrete) random variable Y whose
     24 distribution has the same approximate "shape" as X, simply by letting
     25 Y = T(U), where U is a discrete uniform random variable with range 1 to N.
     26 To see this, it's enough to show that Y's cumulative distribution function,
     27 (let's call it H), is a discrete approximation to F.  But
     28 
     29 	H(x) = P(Y <= x)
     30 	     = (# of entries in T <= x) / N   -- as Y chosen uniformly from T
     31 	     = i/N, where i is the largest integer such that G(i/N) <= x
     32 	     = i/N, where i is the largest integer such that i/N <= F(x)
     33 	     		-- since G and F are inverse functions (and F is
     34 	     		   increasing)
     35 	     = floor(N*F(x))/N
     36 
     37 as desired.
     38 
     39 II. How to create distribution tables (in theory)
     40 
     41 How can we create this table in practice? In some cases, F may have a
     42 simple expression which allows evaluating its inverse directly.  The
     43 Pareto distribution is one example of this.  In other cases, and
     44 especially for matching an experimentally observed distribution, it's
     45 easiest simply to create a table for F and "invert" it.  Here, we give
     46 a concrete example, namely how the new "experimental" distribution was
     47 created.
     48 
     49 1. Collect enough data points to characterize the distribution.  Here, I
     50 collected 25,000 "ping" roundtrip times to a "distant" point (time.nist.gov).
     51 That's far more data than is really necessary, but it was fairly painless to
     52 collect it, so...
     53 
     54 2. Normalize the data so that it has mean 0 and standard deviation 1.
     55 
     56 3. Determine the cumulative distribution.  The code I wrote creates a table
     57 covering the range -10 to +10, with granularity .00005.  Obviously, this
     58 is absurdly over-precise, but since it's a one-time only computation, I
     59 figured it hardly mattered.
     60 
     61 4. Invert the table: for each table entry F(x) = y, make the y*TABLESIZE
     62 (here, 4096) entry be x*TABLEFACTOR (here, 8192).  This creates a table
     63 for the ("normalized") inverse of size TABLESIZE, covering its domain 0
     64 to 1 with granularity 1/TABLESIZE.  Note that even with the granularity
     65 used in creating the table for F, it's possible not all the entries in
     66 the table for G will be filled in.  So, make a pass through the
     67 inverse's table, filling in any missing entries by linear interpolation.
     68 
     69 III. How to create distribution tables (in practice)
     70 
     71 If you want to do all this yourself, I've provided several tools to help:
     72 
     73 1. maketable does the steps 2-4 above, and then generates the appropriate
     74 header file.  So if you have your own time distribution, you can generate
     75 the header simply by:
     76 
     77 	maketable < time.values > header.h
     78 
     79 2. As explained in the other README file, the somewhat sleazy way I have
     80 of generating correlated values needs correction.  You can generate your
     81 own correction tables by compiling makesigtable and makemutable with
     82 your header file.  Check the Makefile to see how this is done.
     83 
     84 3. Warning: maketable, makesigtable and especially makemutable do
     85 enormous amounts of floating point arithmetic.  Don't try running
     86 these on an old 486.  (NIST Net itself will run fine on such a
     87 system, since in operation, it just needs to do a few simple integral
     88 calculations.  But getting there takes some work.)
     89 
     90 4. The tables produced are all normalized for mean 0 and standard
     91 deviation 1.  How do you know what values to use for real?  Here, I've
     92 provided a simple "stats" utility.  Give it a series of floating point
     93 values, and it will return their mean (mu), standard deviation (sigma),
     94 and correlation coefficient (rho).  You can then plug these values
     95 directly into NIST Net.

      5 
      6 NOTES.
      7 * csz scheduler is inoperational at the moment, and probably
      8   never will be repaired but replaced with h-pfq scheduler.
      9 * To use "fw" classifier you will need ipfwchains patch.
     10 * No manual available. Ask me, if you have problems (only try to guess
     11   answer yourself at first 8)).
     12 
     13 
     14 Micro-manual how to start it the first time
     15 -------------------------------------------
     16 
     17 A. Attach CBQ to eth1:
     18 
     19 tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: cbq bandwidth 10Mbit allot 1514 cell 8 \
     20 avpkt 1000 mpu 64
     21 
     22 B. Add root class:
     23 
     24 tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 10Mbit \
     25 allot 1514 cell 8 weight 1Mbit prio 8 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000
     26 
     27 C. Add default interactive class:
     28 
     29 tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:2 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 1Mbit \
     30 allot 1514 cell 8 weight 100Kbit prio 3 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 split 1:0 \
     31 defmap c0
     32 
     33 D. Add default class:
     34 
     35 tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:3 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 8Mbit \
     36 allot 1514 cell 8 weight 800Kbit prio 7 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 split 1:0 \
     37 defmap 3f
     38 
     39 etc. etc. etc. Well, it is enough to start 8) The rest can be guessed 8)
     40 Look also at more elaborated example, ready to start rsvpd,
     41 in rsvp/cbqinit.eth1.
     42 
     43 
     44 Terminology and advices about setting CBQ parameters may be found in Sally Floyd
     45 papers. 
     46 
     47 
     48 Pairs X:Y are class handles, X:0 are qdisc handles.
     49 weight should be proportional to rate for leaf classes
     50 (I choosed it ten times less, but it is not necessary)
     51 
     52 defmap is bitmap of logical priorities served by this class.
     53 
     54 E. Another qdiscs are simpler. F.e. let's join TBF on class 1:2
     55 
     56 tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:2 tbf rate 64Kbit buffer 5Kb/8 limit 10Kb
     57 
     58 F. Look at all that we created:
     59 
     60 tc qdisc ls dev eth1
     61 tc class ls dev eth1
     62 
     63 G. Install "route" classifier on root of cbq and map destination from realm
     64 1 to class 1:2
     65 
     66 tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 100 route to 1 classid 1:2
     67 
     68 H. Assign routes to 10.11.12.0/24 to realm 1
     69 
     70 ip route add 10.11.12.0/24 dev eth1 via whatever realm 1
     71 
     72 etc. The same thing can be made with rules.
     73 I still did not test ipchains, but they should work too.
     74 
     75 Setup of rsvp and u32 classifiers is more hairy.
     76 If you read RSVP specs, you will understand how rsvp classifier
     77 works easily. What's about u32... That's example:
     78 
     79 
     80 
     81 #! /bin/sh
     82 
     83 TC=/home/root/tc
     84 
     85 # Setup classifier root on eth1 root (it is cbq)
     86 $TC filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 prio 5 protocol ip u32
     87 
     88 # Create hash table of 256 slots with ID 1:
     89 $TC filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 prio 5 handle 1: u32 divisor 256
     90 
     91 # Add to 6th slot of hash table rule to select tcp/telnet to 193.233.7.75
     92 # direct it to class 1:4 and prescribe to fall to best effort,
     93 # if traffic violate TBF (32kbit,5K)
     94 $TC filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 prio 5 u32 ht 1:6: \
     95 	match ip dst 193.233.7.75 \
     96 	match tcp dst 0x17 0xffff \
     97 	flowid 1:4 \
     98 	police rate 32kbit buffer 5kb/8 mpu 64 mtu 1514 index 1
     99 
    100 # Add to 1th slot of hash table rule to select icmp to 193.233.7.75
    101 # direct it to class 1:4 and prescribe to fall to best effort,
    102 # if traffic violate TBF (10kbit,5K)
    103 $TC filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 prio 5 u32 ht 1:: \
    104 	sample ip protocol 1 0xff \
    105 	match ip dst 193.233.7.75 \
    106 	flowid 1:4 \
    107 	police rate 10kbit buffer 5kb/8 mpu 64 mtu 1514 index 2
    108 
    109 # Lookup hash table, if it is not fragmented frame
    110 # Use protocol as hash key
    111 $TC filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 prio 5 handle ::1 u32 ht 800:: \

README.lnstat

      1 lnstat - linux networking statistics
      2 (C) 2004 Harald Welte <laforge (a] gnumonks.org
      3 ======================================================================
      4 
      5 This tool is a generalized and more feature-complete replacement for the old
      6 'rtstat' program.
      7 
      8 In addition to routing cache statistics, it supports any kind of statistics
      9 the linux kernel exports via a file in /proc/net/stat.  In a stock 2.6.9
     10 kernel, this is 
     11 	per-protocol neighbour cache statistics 
     12 		(ipv4, ipv6, atm, decnet)
     13 	routing cache statistics
     14 		(ipv4)
     15 	connection tracking statistics
     16 		(ipv4)
     17 
     18 Please note that lnstat will adopt to any additional statistics that might be
     19 added to the kernel at some later point
     20 
     21 I personally always like examples more than any reference documentation, so I
     22 list the following examples.  If somebody wants to do a manpage, feel free
     23 to send me a patch :)
     24 
     25 EXAMPLES:
     26 
     27 In order to get a list of supported statistics files, you can run
     28 
     29 	lnstat -d
     30 
     31 It will display something like
     32  
     33 /proc/net/stat/arp_cache:
     34          1: entries
     35          2: allocs
     36          3: destroys
     37 [...]
     38 /proc/net/stat/rt_cache:
     39          1: entries
     40          2: in_hit
     41          3: in_slow_tot
     42 
     43 You can now select the files/keys you are interested by something like
     44 
     45 	lnstat -k arp_cache:entries,rt_cache:in_hit,arp_cache:destroys
     46 
     47 arp_cach|rt_cache|arp_cach|
     48  entries|  in_hit|destroys|
     49        6|       6|       0|
     50        6|       0|       0|
     51        6|       2|       0|
     52 
     53 
     54 You can specify the interval (e.g. 10 seconds) by:
     55 	
     56 	lnstat -i 10
     57 
     58 You can specify to only use one particular statistics file:
     59 
     60 	lnstat -f ip_conntrack
     61 
     62 You can specify individual field widths 
     63 
     64 	lnstat -k arp_cache:entries,rt_cache:entries -w 20,8
     65 
     66 You can specify not to print a header at all
     67 	
     68 	lnstat -s 0
     69 
     70 You can specify to print a header only at start of the program
     71 
     72 	lnstat -s 1
     73 
     74 You can specify to print a header at start and every 20 lines:
     75 
     76 	lnstat -s 20
     77 
     78 You can specify the number of samples you want to take (e.g. 5):
     79 	
     80 	lnstat -c 5
     81 
     82
