I don't really know what effect resetting the tc configuration every
few seconds would have on logged in users. What happens to the
existing connections when the whole thing is reloaded? Will they
jitter? Or roll over and die, or just continue behaving as they were?
Wouldn't writing out commands for a few hundred connections into a
file and loading that file take a significant amount of time?
On the whole I'd prefer to do each connection as it comes up, so if
that's possible at all.
