Diffserv on Linux: The distribution

This page contains links to the current Diffserv on Linux distribution for 2.2 kernels and also to all previous releases.

Note: 2.3 kernels already contain all the changes to support Differentiated Services.

The releases and some related files are stored in ftp://icaftp.epfl.ch/pub/linux/diffserv/dist/

Each distribution consist of four files:

the complete set of Diffserv-related patches to the kernel and to the tc utility, plus scripts and documentation (.tar.gz)
a diff versus the previous distribution (.dist-diff.gz)
a diff of the current patched kernel versus the patched kernel of the previous distribution (.kernel-diff.gz)
a diff of the current patched iproute2 versus the patched iproute2 of the previous distribution (.iproute2-diff.gz)
Note: before release 7, the diff was for tc instead of iproute2

The diffs are mainly useful for tracking changes. The complete tree is sufficient to build a running system; the diffs are not required for this.

Furthermore, for each release, the corresponding change log entry and the announcement posting are available too.
