My seemingly biggest problem is that I dont want to specify manually every "class", but I want the filtering to automatically regard each IP as a different class. I might have misunderstood classes though. Instead, Ill explain what I want to achieve: 1) I want to deploy a box in bridge mode first of all. 2) I would _want_ to traffic shape based on mac, not IP, but this doesnt seem possible. It isnt vital for me though, ip will work. 3) I want each ip (well, preferrably MAC, but...) to have 3 mbit of bandwidth. Is this possible with linux TC ? My problem is I dont know each and every IP-address that will be used. With dummynet in freebsd, you can specify "filters" on ip-dest/src and so on, and whats left after the filter is used as a ID, where each ID get a identical "pipe", effectively a bandwidth-cap. Thats suiting me perfectly, though I would want a bit more functionality. Basically, dummynet wouldnt let the individual streams to go above their 3mbit even when our connection isnt being fully utilized. I hope I made some sense. --- John B=E4ckstrand _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
