===Contribs for Wondershaper & QOS===
Adding all this information here to help sort out & track what's going on with these packages, will tidy it up later & remove unwanted information.
There are two contribs rpm packages that have been developed but the status of them both is unsure. It appears that smeserver-htbwondershaper may have problems & is no longer being developed. It appears that smeserver-qos is awaiting import into the contribs cvs system.
There are also suggestions here http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,45037.msg217958.html#msg217958 by knuddi that software based qos may not work very well in certain types of situations, so the effectiveness of these types of contribs is unsure.
The first contrib is here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/smeserver/releases/7/smetest/i386/RPMS/smeserver-htbwshaper-1.0-14.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
See the original release announcement here http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,43321.0.html

see http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5005 for a later version of smeserver-htbwshaper
"I made a few minor changes, but it still had a fundamental flaw it issues an iptables command to enable shaping after booting
but if you run a sme event that restart masq the command isn't rerun I couldn't work out how to insert the command into a template"
According to http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5005 S Noble says the contrib is abandoned, refer http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,45037.msg217923.html
The other contrib package is here:
http://repo.firewall-services.com/sme/noarch/smeserver-qos-1.0-4.noarch.rpm
or later versions here for el4 and el5 are here:
http://repo.firewall-services.com/centos/4/noarch/smeserver-qos-1.1-10.el4.fws.noarch.rpm
and
http://repo.firewall-services.com/centos/5/noarch/smeserver-qos-1.2.0-1.el5.fws.noarch.rpm
Some comments from Nov 2009 re above packages from VIP-ire at http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,45037.msg217927.html#msg217927
"This contrib (smeserver-qos) is not documented yet, because I'd first like to import it in the smecontrib repo. I've already asked for it, but it seems it wasn't accepted. The reason is that there's already a contrib called smeserver-htbwshaper imported, which does the same job. This contrib was not sufficient for my need, so I've "forked" it and created smeserver-qos. But now, the changes I've made are too important to merge it with the smeserver-htbwshaper with small patches. If I find some time to talk to the author of the original contrib, I'll try to merge the changes."
and by mary
"The HTBWondershaper script method has been replaced by the smeserver-htbwshaper rpm, which has been superseded by the smeserver-qos rpm.
It's just that processes and documentation have not been updated to match the newer releases."
In December 2012 at http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7100 Daniel wrote "I'll try to write a little wiki page as soon as the package is imported in CVS and built"
