hello guys,

I have several links to limit the bandwidth,
so I need to know what is the maximum value
for the --set-mark value in the mangle table

I need something near a thousand diferent marks

like this one:
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -s ..... --dport smtp -j MARK --set-mark 0811
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o eth1 -p tcp --sport smtp -d ..... -j MARK --set-mark 0812

why the numbers are so high?

1) there are SEVERAL partitions to be made.
2) the numbers are related with the service being limited for better administration.

I use TC from iproute2 and iptables 1.26a kernel 2.4.18

if someone knows that it will work or if I need a patch, 
I'll be very thankfull.
