How can we create this table in practice? In some cases, F may have a

Pareto distribution is one example of this. In other cases, and

! 1. Compile with rh-7.2
! 2. What the hell some people blame on socklen_t defined in unistd.h? Check.
* Kim Woelders <kim@woelders.dk>, various useful fixups: compilation
with old kernels, cross-compiling, "all" == "any" in prefix spec.
* Collected from my disk, cleaned and packed to directory iproute2/misc/
several utilities: ss, nstat, ifstat, rtacct, arpd and module tcp_diag.
Writing some docs. me.
* prepared patchlet for pidentd to use tcp_diag.
* David Miller: 64bit (and even worse 64bit kernel/32 bit user :-) fixes
to above. tcp_diag is merged to main tree.
* Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad@blackcatlinux.com>: various flaws in ss
* Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad@blackcatlinux.com>: oops, more aggressive caching
of names opened old bugs: ip started to print garbage in some places.
* Robert Olsson, rt_cache_stat. Renamed to rtstat.
* An old bug in "ip maddr ls": reduntant empty lines in output.
Seeing this crap for ages but lucky match of desire/ability to repair
and a huff about this happened only today. :-)
* "Mr. James W. Laferriere" <babydr@baby-dragons.com>
doc: option to produce ps output for non-a4 and not only 2 pages/sheet.
* Jamal's patch for ingres qdisc.
* Bernd Eckenfels <ecki@lina.inka.de>: deleted orphaned bogus #include
in include/utils.h.
* Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg>: uninitialized fields in nexthop
producing funny "dead" nexthops in multipath routes.
Stupid me, look at the first line in [010803]... Was it difficult to guess
this that time? People blame for several months. :-)
Special thanks to bert hubert <ahu@ds9a.nl> who raised the issue in netdev.
Thanks and apologies to Terry Schmidt <terry@nycwireless.net>,
Ruben Puettmann <ruben.puettmann@freenet-ag.de>,
Mark Ivens <mivens@clara.net>.
* willy tarreau <wtarreau@yahoo.fr>: "make install" target.
* Tunable limit for sch_sfq. Patch to kernel activating this
is about to be submitted. Reminded by Adi Nugroho <Adi@iNterNUX.co.id>.
[010824]
* ip address add sets scope of loopback addreses to "host".
Advised by David Miller.
* ZIP! <zip@killerlabs.com> and David Ford <david@blue-labs.org>
Some strcpy's changed to strncpy's.
* David Ford <david@blue-labs.org>, test for compilation with gcc3.
* David Ford <david@blue-labs.org>. Damn, I broke rtnl_talk in previous
snapshot.
[010803]
* If "dev" is not specified in multipath route, ifindex remained
uninitialized. Grr. Thanks to Kunihiro Ishiguro <kunihiro@zebra.org>.
* Rafal Maszkowski <rzm@icm.edu.pl>, batch mode tc. The most old patch.
* Updates list of data protocol ids.
Lots of reporters. I bring my apologies.
* Jan Rekorajski <baggins@sith.mimuw.edu.pl>. Updated list of datalink types.
* Christina Chen <chenchristina@cwc.nus.edu.sg>. Bug in parsing IPv6 address match in u32.
* Pekka Savola <pekkas@netcore.fi>. ip -6 route flush dev lo stuck
on deleting root of the table.
* Werner. dsmark fixes.
* Alexander Demenshin <aldem-reply@aldem.net>. Old miracleous bug
in ip monitor. It was puzzle, people permanently blame that
it prints some crap.
* Rui Prior <rprior@inescporto.pt>. f_route failed to resolve fromif.
Werner also noticed this and sent patch. Bad place... [RETHINK]
* Kim Woelders <kim@woelders.dk>.
- changes in Makefile for cross-compile
- understand "all" as alias for "any"
- bug in iprule.c
! [ NB. Also he sent patch for kernel. Do not forget! ]
* Werner. Fix to tc core files: wrong exits etc.
* Bernd Jendrissek <berndj@prism.co.za>. Some sanitizations of tc.c
!* Marian Jancar <marian.jancar@infonet.cz>. He say q_tbf prints wrong latency!
! Seems, he is wrong.
* Werner (and Nikolai Vladychevski <niko@isl.net.mx>) check ->print_copts
to avoid segfault.
[001007]

I am sorry, but tc-cref.tex is still not ready, to be more
exact the draft does not describe current tc 8-)
* ip, rtmon, rtacct utilities are updated according to manual 8-)
Lots of changes:

* This snapshot fixes some compatibility problems, which I introduced
occasionally to previous snapshots.
* Namely, "allot" to "tc qdisc add ... cbq" is accepted but ignored.
* Another changes are supposed to be shown in the next snapshot, but
because of troubles with "allot" I am forced to release premature
version. Namely, "cell", "prio", "weight" etc. are optional now.
