As an ISP with 800 clients I found the hashs difficult to manage after
time. Also when dealing with clients who want subnet /29 mapping back to
a billing entry was hard. I wrote some PHP so other could use web front
end and used ipset (both hash and net sets) and combining with marks to
do the traffic control for different levels of service. As the client
requirements grew changed this ended in allot of panic PHP. So i use 3rd
party vendor device.

My advice would be to use 2 devices 1 to mark traffic and do access
control and use ds_shed to control traffic on other device. I think I
went wrong in trying to do all on one device.

Hope helps.
