Re: QOS with ATM

Why don't you put this stuff in RELENG_4 and make me
a happy camper :)

I really need max_cpr (like under Linux)
Did you look at the Linux ATM ? 

Oh and yes, please write a short HOW-TO for
ATM + Netgraph, because I have extreme diffculties
understand Netgraph (I am a bit slow understanding things :))

Anyway I am clearly looking forward for this NEW HARP ATM 
stuff to be integrated under RELENG soon :) 

In the meanwhile I will be forced to use Linux if nothing else

But I do have EN155PCI cards (6 of them :)) in order to test
the NEW HARP you made if you need me too

and 1 PCA200E left ( however it is a single mode fiber and my ENI155
are Multimode and I have no converter) I can manage to get this Dual
CPU machine to work without freezing under FreeBSD (see previous
Email)
