This is the 6th version of our interface group patches.

The interface group value can be used to manage different interfaces
at the same time such as in netfilter/iptables.

I take it you could not use...?
	iptables -i iif1 -j dosomething
	iptables -i iif2 -j dosomething

This kind of usage requires static interface names. But there are dynamic interfaces such as ppp, where the actual name is not always known or sometimes they exist sometimes not. It is difficult to use iptables this way, and every ifup/ifdown requires change in the iptables ruleset (donwload it, modify and upload to the kernel). It may be too slow.


The netfilter patch
is ready but future plan is the same for ip/tc commands (except
the ifgroup value change which happens via "ip link set" command).

How can it be useful in conjunction with tc?
