ACE QoS API (AQoSA)
===================

This directory contains the implementation for the ACE QoS API (AQoSA).

BUILD REQUIREMENTS
==================
WIN2K :

AQoSA makes use of the GQOS API under Windows 2000.  The minimum
requirements are:

1. June98 Platform SDK or later.
2. Link with ws2_32.lib 

More information about GQOS is available from the MSDN website:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdn-files/026/002/258/Search.asp

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UNIX :

AQoSA makes use of the RSVP API (RAPI) under UNIX.
RAPI can be obtained from: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/rsvp/release/.
rsvpd.rel4.2a4-1 may require patches in order to compile
under current versions of Linux.  Contact Craig Rodrigues <crodrigu@bbn.com>
to obtain these patches.

The following lines should be added to your platform_macros.GNU file
before building AQoSA:

PLATFORM_RAPI_CPPFLAGS += -I[path to RAPI header files]
PLATFORM_RAPI_LIBS += -lrsvp
PLATFORM_RAPI_LDFLAGS += -L[path to RAPI library files]

1. Compile AQoSA with 
       
   make rapi=1
