This is more an "out of curiosity" question. I'm starting to build a test environment for all I've learned about Linux traffic shaping over the last week. One of the devices happens to be configured as a bridge. It quickly became apparent that I needed to do shaping on the individual ports and not the bridge port. This would be a real pain if I have lots of ports - 8 or 10 or 20 identical configurations. Would this be an ideal use for IFB? That is, to redirect all ports to IFB and apply one set qdiscs/classes? Thanks - John
