Here's a challenge for you Shorewall gurus out there.  I have a client that has 
just installed a two-circuit T1 connection to their office.  The T1's are not 
bonded, in the truest sense.  Instead, the ISP maintains a Cisco router that 
performs ECMP over the circuits.  They claim the routing metric performs 
per-packet splitting of the data across both circuits.

This represents a challenge to me, as coming out of the Cisco router I have 
only one Ethernet connection to the Shorewall box.  Aggregate speeds across 
that link can be up to both lines summed, but individual sessions can only be 
the speed of one of the circuits.

Is there any way to use traffic shaping in this environment?  The client 
definitely needs it, but it doesn't appear to me that tc has the ability to 
handle this scenario.

Any suggestions welcome.
