Thanks for your reply, Jamal. Unfortunately, we don't really understand your example. Please see below.
How about we take this offline. I help you and you document it so other people understand it?
What's the mechanism for matching the IPs? We need to insert thousands of these rules and shape constant 20+ Mbit flow of traffic. If it doesn't use a hash or similar, we're back to where we started.
Its the u32 classifier which is more sophisticated than the standard iptables one. It does go into a tree of hashes. If you are unhappy with it, it is trivial to add your own classifier as well. [..]
Would you know of any real documentation on tc/ingress that we could use to deconstruct this example and understand it?
Lets take it offline - there is no docs really. In particular this feature i am talking about is not documented anywhere. Unfortunately what that means is people reinvent it every summer. IMQ being one of those inventions. I would like to also satisfy Vladmirs requirement of delaying packets instead of policing them. cheers, jamal
