Filters.

Yes, sort of.  Yes.

'prio #' must be included in all 'filter' lines where "#" is not zero
and is always the same; the "zero prio" has a limit and there is a limit
on '#' - but no limit on how many times '#' can be (e.g.) 5

So, e.g.:
tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 5 \
   u32 match ip src $IP flowid 1:40

will run at least 64K times without complaint, but this will fail after
~2K:
tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 0 \
   u32 match ip src $IP flowid 1:40
