Using htb you could have each user hitting a separate class, each with
a RATE and a common CEIL so that they can all burst if the line isnt
contended... Then feed each of those that info BFIFO with limit set
just over 2x MTU sized packets (if the connection is relatively
slow). Alternatively if your O/S has it check out fq_codel.
I could do that but for a class C lan I would have to create 256
seperate classes and 256 separate filters. Each for every ip. Whereas in
SFQ you only have to specify that the hashing algorithm should work on
the dst field & 0xFF and everything works automatically. For more than
256 ips things will get really clattered. Also I wonder if speed is an
issue here with so many rules.
I haven't heard about fq_codel. I will give it a look.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Dimitris
