You can place a queue there with traffic control tools, but it would only make sense if doing rate control. Also br0 is only invoked for locally generated packets. If you are a gateway, all traffic passing through never touches the br0 pseudo-interface. -- Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxx> OSDL http://developer.osdl.org/~shemminger
