Port ????? Port ????? Port ????? | | | | +--------------+------+-------+-----------------+ | | eth1 +----------+ | Linux | | Router | +----------+ | eth0 | +----------+ | PC on | | Lan | +----------+ Multiple servers sending data to one pc on the lan using multiple ports. I want to load balance the traffic leaving eth0 towards the PC based on the number of connections. I am wondering if I will be able to set up classes/filters for a set number of connections ( for arguments sake - say 10 connections ) regardless of what port they are on and thus configure my tc setup to load balance those 10 connections - allowing them to borrow from each other as usual. All I am looking for here is a short yes/no answer and possible a hint as to what part of the howto to start looking at. I want to figure out how to do it myself, but don't want to waste time trying if it is not possible. Thanks for your time spent reading/answering.
