Thanks ! That reinforces my understanding.
Now is there a way to establish QoS between 2 interfaces on a
physical box ie. eth0 and eth1.
As I see it, if a packet arrives on eth0 and from routing table lookup it
is determined that it needs to go to eth1, then the packet does not go
through the traffic control code because the device is 'local'.
But would there be a way to say that all traffic going from eth0 to eth1
conform to QoS parameters ?
