How to make netfilter-layer7 functional

[sonice]

Different QoS scripts just do not work for me as my internet speed drops down 5-7 times!

I am just wondering how can I make netfilter-layer7 functional?

I have got 1.9.2.7-rtn-r1943.trx

Downloaded netfilter-layer7-v2.22.tar.gz from here-

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/l7-filter/files/l7-filter%20kernel%20version/2.22/netfilter-layer7-v2.22.tar.gz/download

I have

uname -a
Linux Asus 2.6.22.19 #1 Sun Aug 15 14:55:34 YEKST 2010 mips GNU/Linux



vi README
- iptables-1.4.3forward-for-kernel-2.6.20forward/libxt_layer7.{c,man}

Use these files if you are compiling iptables 1.4.3 or later against Linux
2.6.20 or later.

- for_older_iptables/

Use these files if you are using an older version of iptables or Linux.
Note that not all combinations are supported. This includes, but is not
limited to:

-- Compiling iptables 1.4.x against Linux 2.6.19.x or earlier.

-- iptables 1.4.1, period.


General notes:

- You do NOT need to recompile iptables if you change your running kernel
version across the 2.6.20 boundary and you already have a working iptables.

- You DO need to recompile iptables if you switch from a kernel patched
with l7-filter <= v2.10 to one patched with l7-filter >= v2.11.

My iptables v1.3.8 but I do not know where "patched kernel source"?

iptables 1.4.0 and older

Use the appropriate iptables patch to to patch[1] iptables. Compile iptables, pointing it at your patched kernel source:

Run "chmod +x extensions/.layer7-test" (information about file permissions can't be contained in the patch)
Then "make KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/patched/kernel_source" (you must have configured your kernel source before this step)
And install (as root): "make install KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/patched/kernel_source"

How to compile into your kernel module ip_conntrack_netlink or nf_conntrack_netlink?

Either way, you need either the module ip_conntrack_netlink or nf_conntrack_netlink or the same code compiled into your kernel.

Could someone help me with this?

You cannot compile this on your router

You need to compile this from the sources of oleg firmware.

But just to let you know, QoS won't stop making your internet drop:rolleyes:
QoS tries to make sure some packages have a higher priority so that things like skype won't stutter:)
