Webmin-HTB module

Hierarchy Token Bucket module for Webmin.
This module provides a GUI for the HTB.init script.

Introduction

Webmin-htb is a webmin module aiming at making an easy interface to configure QoS (using Hierarchy Token Bucket queues) under Linux.
It is released under the GNU General Public Licence.

HTB queues are usually configured with the "ip" and "tc" commands which interact with the kernel. Webmin-HTB provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for them. You can see the traffic classes in a form of a tree, and assign detailled parameters to each classe (Troughput, IP address/port, priority...).
