Brian, What is really required is for someone to have a flash of insight about traffic shaping like I did about packet filtering when I first envisioned the zone-policy-rule model. I've had no such revelation when it comes to traffic shaping and until I or someone else can come up with a clean and simple abstraction for modeling the TC problem space, I really don't see much value in tinkering with the current code. That current code was inherited from another project and it doesn't raise the level of abstraction above what people can find in the LARTC Howto. And the class model that HTB and similar qdiscs implement is just too complex (although HTB is a major improvement over CBQ when it comes to complexity). I often wish that I hadn't integrated TC into Shorewall at all because it is a major support headache. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
