[ale] QoS talk

[Dow Hurst]

Jim P.
To make your talk on QoS more complete, you could bring a two routers 
and two satellite systems to demonstrate with.  Use the Linksys routers 
with OpenWRT or Sveasoft firmware to lighten the load, or get some help 
from others to bring in systems.  I think the demonstration meetings are 
alot of fun if the hardware gets setup beforehand properly.  Actually 
the software setup behind the QoS is only simple on the surface.  The 
technology built into the iproute2 package is very expandable and gets 
rapidly complex.  I would not have gotten anywhere without the Advanced 
Routing HowTo and the scripts that automate the setup of the queues for 
traffic shaping.  I might just drive back down to Atlanta for a talk on 
this subject!
