Re: ebtables and IMQ

Nick,

First let me say that iptables works for me but it
also works for other scenarios where you can now use
either ebtalbes or iptables.

The reason I think ebtables should be used is that I
don’t use any IP.
I have several Ethernet bridges which I rate limit to
a specific bandwidth. I don’t care about any IP since
I limit based on input interfaces (VLANs in my case);
the key is that I rate limit more than one interface
to a specific rate. As you know TC will only work on
one interface so if I want to aggregate more than one
such that for example eth0.500+eth0.501+eth0.502
ingress rate limited to 1Mbps I need to use iptables
to redirect these interfaces to imq0 and do the TC on
imq0. Since there is not IP involved and it is based
purely on the bridge/interface I think ebtables would
make more sense.

Ron.
