Introduction

Since KTCPVS is implemented as a Linux kernel module, compilation will require the kernel header files matching the kernel version you wish to use the ktcpvs module with.

Linux Kernel 2.4

Linux Kernel 2.6

I have tested it under CentOS 4.x, support for newer kernel will be added later. Before begin please make sure the kernel-devel package is installed

Then check out the source code for 2.6 from the subversion:

svn co http://svn.linuxvirtualserver.org/repos/ktcpvs/branches/stable_for_2.6.9/ ktcpvs

for RHEL5 or CentOS 5.x, you can check out the source with following command:

svn co http://svn.linuxvirtualserver.org/repos/ktcpvs/branches/for_2.6.18/ ktcpvs

Complie & install ktcpvs:

cd ktcpvs && make install

And now, you can use the start script under the ktcpvs directory to start the kernel thread ;)

./start

You can change the config file as your need, then use "tcpvsadm -f config" to load it, for more details, please refer the manual of tcpvsadm.
