I also think that system must forward all packets what it get if it not 
dropped manual (by iptables or shaper).
Maybe someone need to test delete big TREE.. simple delete, not 
recreate... linux unavailable some time (if its realy big table its time 
may be 10-20 sec on 2xXeon).
I think need helper to do that operations more accurate. Now see 
situation that linux is PPTP server... its get 2000k connection... try 
delete qdisc on eth0 (incoming from wan to pptp clients)... i think many 
sessions will drop.

Thanks!
