Re: IFB and bridges

Hello, all.  This is more an "out of curiosity" question.  I'm starting
to build a test environment for all I've learned about Linux traffic
shaping over the last week.  One of the devices happens to be configured
as a bridge.  It quickly became apparent that I needed to do shaping on
the individual ports and not the bridge port.

This would be a real pain if I have lots of ports - 8 or 10 or 20
identical configurations.  Would this be an ideal use for IFB? That is,
to redirect all ports to IFB and apply one set qdiscs/classes? Thanks -

I have no idea what your problem is.

You want to shape either egress or ingress, for different reasons (most
people shape egress), but on proxies an ingress and egress combination
is welcomed.

But having to use ingress on the same machine in place of egress, I dont
see why.
