/etc/net - Linux on the network

/etc/net Linux network configuration system hot news Aug 09, 2005: today is the first anniversary of /etc/net project. Exactly one year ago the first /etc/net files were created after a long period of design and discussions. Since now /etc/net web-site will reside on its own domain name etcnet.org. The site is hosted at one of Ukrainian OSDN [http://osdn.org.ua] servers. about /etc/net represents a new approach to Linux network configuration tasks. Inspired by the limitations of traditional configuration subsystems, /etc/net provides builtin support for: configuration profiles interface name management removable devices full iproute2 command set interface dependencies resolution QoS configuration framework firewall support /etc/net provides support for the following interface types: Ethernet WiFi (WEP) IPv4/IPv6 tunnels PSK IPSec tunnels VLAN PLIP Ethernet bonding and bridging traffic equalizer usbnet PPP (PPtP, PPPoE) DVB Due to its modular design, support for new interface types can be added without overall design changes. /etc/net consists of core scripts (stable) and GUI configurator (development). Both parts are licensed under GPL.
