Thanx for the idea Ed.Can u clarify another point for me if u have an idea about it cos im new to this.I understand that i can route packets from different interfaces to a common tbf attached to an IMQ device.Now i need to know whether the packets after passing through this IMQ device are then automatically forwarded to the correct actual hardware interfaces to be further delivered to their respective destinations. Example: my router has 4 interface cards eth0,1,2,3.Packets from 0 are destined to 2 and packets from 1 to 3.However all packets are first to be routed through a common shaping mechanism which im assuming now to be a tbf attached to the IMQ device.This is the scenario i am currently trying to model by sending the packets to user space and thro a tbf implemented in user space which i think is turning out to be a little complex.Thanx again for the help kind regards vinay --- Ed Wildgoose <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >If this is not possible does any one have a simple > >basic implementation of the token bucket filter > that i > >can use in my program to test this scenario or any > >other ideas on how to implement this tbf in user > >space. > > > > > > It's not as neat, but IMQ might help here? > > Ed W > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
