u32 hash filters is the key, as somebody pointed. You can also tune your iptables setup, like this #192.168.1.0/24 iptables -t mangle -N 192-168-1-0-24 iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j 192-168-1-0-24 iptables -t mangle -N 192-168-1-0-25 iptables -t mangle -N 192-168-1-128-25 iptables -t mangle -A 192-168-1-0-24 -s 192.168.1.0/25 -j 192-168-1-0-25 iptables -t mangle -A 192-168-1-0-24 -s 192.168.128.0/25 -j 192-168-1-128-25 . . and so on, until (ip 192.168.1.11, which is called in chain created for 192.168.1.10/31) iptables -t mangle -A 192-168-1-10-31 -s 192.168.1.10 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:10 iptables -t mangle -A 192-168-1-10-31 -s 192.168.1.11 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:11 .. I guess you got the ideea, it requires some RAM, which i belive is not such a big problem. Similar rules should be made for download.
