<PRE>Hi, I have a set of machines [Linux/BSD/Solaris] for which I want to
traffic shape their output. I don't want to change any network
configuration so I am considering placing a box in bridging mode in
front of them. Can traffic shaping work in this configuration
In Linux 2.2.17, the Bridging config option tells you to download the
bridge configuration tools from
<A HREF="http://lrp.plain.co.nz/tarballs/bridgex-0.30.tar.gz">http://lrp.plain.co.nz/tarballs/bridgex-0.30.tar.gz</A> which returns a
404.
According to the Bridge mini-HOWTO, the configuration tools are
available on <A HREF="ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/BRCFG.tgz">ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/BRCFG.tgz</A> whose hostname
is not found.
Is this the right approach or do I need to think of another solution ?
Regards, Yusuf

I'm not sure. It might. You can also experiment with proxy-ARP tricks:
[internet] - [router] - [linux] - [10.0.0.0/24]
eth0 eth1
You need to instruct Linux to respond to ARPs in eth0 for anything in
10.0.0.0, and to respond to ARPs on eth1 for your router, and you are all
set.
This way, no configuration changes are needed either.

It might be, but I'm not aware of anybody doing this with Linux. The
proxyarp trick does work.
