Subject: [LARTC] "automatic" classes
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2002 01:00:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-lartc-102626288630677@msgid-missing> (raw)

Ive read up a bit on traffic shaping the last days, but
not only on linux TC, but also on dummynet and altq for
freebsd. 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.
