Has anyone tested the scalability of using tc filters? I have a box
which I require to traffic shape each individual client by IP Address using
u32 identifiers. My concern though, is that each client requires 2 filters
(data from and to the box) and there are a few hundred clients minimum.
Which means each packet may have to pass through a few hundred or possibly
thousand filters to determine its path. Is this going to give significant
latency issues? Or excessive server load?
Is there a simpler way to restrict each client to a given rate (there
are three separate rates that different clients are assigned)?
Kind regards,
John Hanlon.
