rust-tc

rust-tc provides a pure Rust API for interacting with the netlink based Linux Traffic Control (tc) subsystem of rtnetlink.

This library is very much in progress. It only supports a small subset of classless and classful qdiscs. Also, the library only supports read at the moment.

Usage

use netlink_tc as tc;

fn main() {
    // Get list of qdiscs
    let qdiscs = tc::qdiscs::<tc::Netlink>().unwrap();

    // Get list of classes
    let classes = tc::classes::<tc::Netlink>().unwrap();

    // Get class for given interface
    let class = tc::class::<tc::Netlink>("eth0").unwrap();
}

TODO

  • Add support for all qdiscs and classes.
  • Add support for write, update and delete.
