[LARTC] Conceptual question ;-)

ehlo list,

I'm willing to shape ppp users e.g. each pppX interface to get XXX kbits
I classify traffic going to ppp+ interfaces like this:
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o ppp+ -j CLASSIFY --set-class 0002:0020

then i have a file which is executed when a ppp inteface is up and first
argument parsed to that file ($1) is the ppp number (e.g. 35 for ppp35).
it generally looks like this:

tc qdisc del dev ppp$1 root
tc qdisc add dev ppp$1 root handle 2: htb
tc class add dev ppp$1 parent 2: classid 2:2 htb rate XXXkbit
tc class add dev ppp$1 parent 2:2 classid 2:20 htb rate XXXkbit
tc qdisc add dev ppp$1 parent 2:20 handle 20: sfq perturb 10

The question is, when for example 10 ppp interfaces are up will they
each get XXX kbits.

Actually it looks like it can target sub-classes:

pppoe users ----- eth1-gw/router-eth0 ----- WAN/Internet

For shaping pppoe users upload i do the following:
attached a root qdisc to eth0
then attached a htb class to it (1:10 for example)

Then i attach dynamicaly classes to 1:10 with numbers (1:91 for ppp1 for
example) with parent 1:10. There are also dynamic iptables rules (alot
of dynamic stuff going on .. lol ;) saying "traffic from that pppoe user
going out trough eth0 CLASSIFY as 1:91"
When a ppp43 is up, a class 1:943 with parent 1:10 will be attached to
eth0 and iptables rule saying traffic from that pppoe user going out
trough eth0 CLASSIFY as 1:943"

and it seems to work fine, upload seems to be shaped at the desired rates.
But that is in a "one pppoe user" test environment, i think it should
work fine when deployed too, and each pppoe user will get their upload
rates ;-)
