ProFTPD module mod_qos



The mod_qos module can be used to set the Differentiated Services field (RFC2474) of IP packet headers. This can dramatically aid in the handling of these packets in the network, depending on the network QoS configuration.

This module is contained in the mod_qos file for ProFTPD 1.3.x, and is not compiled by default. Installation instructions are discussed here.

The most current version of mod_qos is distributed with the ProFTPD source code.

See RFC2474 for a better discussion of these values.

Note that while the following values are also supported, their use is deprecated, and can have adverse effects on TCP congestion control:


Installation

For including mod_qos as a statically linked module in your proftpd, use:
  $ ./configure --with-modules=mod_qos
Alternatively, mod_qos could be built as a DSO module:
  $ ./configure --enable-dso --with-shared=mod_qos
Then follow the usual steps:
  $ make
  $ make install

Alternatively, if your proftpd was compiled with DSO support, you can use the prxs tool to build mod_qos as a shared module:

  $ prxs -c -i -d mod_qos.c
