  58 Linux has very advanced Routing, filtering and traffic shaping options.
  59 This site attempts to document how to configure and use these features.

  84 This is a major release and as such some things are changing. We are no
  85 longer the '2.4 HOWTO', the canonical name now is 'Linux Advanced Routing
  86 &amp; Shaping HOWTO', the canonical URL is <a
  87 href=http://ds9a.nl/lartc>http://ds9a.nl/lartc</a>. Bumped the version
  88 number to 0.9.0. Now is the time to help us spot mistakes, I'm going to push
  89 the HOWTO to the LDP somewhere next week, I want it to be perfect then. Oh,
  90 and we re-licensed under the Open Publication License, which increases
  91 your freedom as a user.

 130 <H2>LARTC Mailinglist</H2>
 131 It appears that the topic of our HOWTO is getting popular, so we decided to
 132 start a mailinglist dedicated to discussions about advanced routing &amp;
 133 shaping with Linux!
 134 <p>
 135 The advent of the Linux Advanced Routing &amp; Traffic Control list also
 136 means that questions asked privately will no longer be answered, as these
 137 answers benefit only single users. Asking questions on the list is far more
 138 net-friendly. So if you want to ask us a question, <a
 139 href=http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc>subscribe to the
 140 mailinglist</a>, and ask it! An <a
 141 href=http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/>archive</a> is also available,
 142 and google has picked it up as well.
 143 <p>
 144 <font color=#ff0000>Please note that due to excessive spam the list has
 145 become 'members only' - so please <a
 146 href=http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc>subscribe</a> first!</font>

 200 This HOWTO is intended to be very much a <a
 201 href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/">Bazaar</a> style development. If it
 202
 203 were to be any more open, bits would fall out.
 204 <p>
 205 A CVS tree is available. try this:
 206 <pre>
 207 $ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anon@outpost.ds9a.nl:/var/cvsroot
 208 $ cvs login
 209 CVS password: [enter 'cvs' (without 's)]
 210 $ cvs co 2.4routing
 211 cvs server: Updating 2.4routing
 212 U 2.4routing/2.4routing.sgml
 213 ...
 214 </pre>
 215
 216 If you made changes and want to contribute them, run 'cvs -z3 diff -uBb',
 217 and mail the output to <a href=mailto:howto@ds9a.nl>howto@ds9a.nl</a>, we
 218 can then integrate it easily. Thanks! Please make sure that you edit the
 219 .sgml, by the way, the other files are generated from that one.
 220
 221 The idea is that this HOWTO will be a cooperative effort, much like the
 222 Linux kernel itself.
