OK - judging by the lack of response, I am assuming this is not possible?

I have started hacking on a simple patch to add support to qdiscs to dup 
their traffic to a dummy interface.

Simple test code for the prio qdisc, hardcoded for device id 5 as the 
dummy qdisc is attached.

The eventual idea is to add an optional argument 'dupdev' to all qdiscs. 
  If the qdisc has this argument set, then the packet is duplicated to 
that device, if not, nothing is altered.

The only real overhead is one NULL check in each enqueue function, so 
this should not really affect performance.

Is it worth while doing up this solution as a proper kernel patch (does 
it have any chance of being accepted, or should I just do it 
'quick-and-dirty' for my personal use?

Thanks,
Justin
