If you want to give each host a class, you can not change the number of classes. But you can make the filter part faster. If you mark each host with a iptables mark, that mark is also the class of the host. Very fast filtering, but you need also a lot of iptables rules. There is also a WRR qdisc. This qdisc will create for each host (or mac-address) it sess, a class and will assign some bandwidth to this class. Very easy if you have lot of hosts. Stef Btw, what are a lot of hosts? 1000, 10000, 100000, ... ? -- stef.coene@docum.org "Using Linux as bandwidth manager" http://www.docum.org/ #lartc @ irc.openprojects.net _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
