I suggest that anyone interested in building a failover filtering bridge with rules and connection state synching / QoS+TC to join me about building this project: if we are enough with good skills we can do great job. What we have: * STP protocol is already implemented * Traffic shaping and QoS with iptables + cbq (or another traffic shaper) should be fine in this context (needs to be tested) What we need: * an elegant way of synching rules and conntrack * testers and volunteers ! * documentation What should be nice: * load balancing Any idea or contributor welcome! Feel free to contact me, and list me your resources & skills !
