My goal is not just to make as many classes as possible, but also to
use them to do rate limiting per ip per server. Say, I have a list of
10000 IPs and more than 100 servers. So simply if I want few IPs to
get speed of says 1Mbps per server but others say speed of 2 Mbps per
server. How can I achieve this without having 10000 x 100 classes.
These numbers can be large than this and hence I am looking for a
generic solution to this.

I am using ipset +  iptables to classify and not filters. Besides, if
tc is allowing me to define qdisc -> classes -> qdsic -> classes
(1,2,3 ...) sort of structure (ie like the one shown in ascii tree)
then how can those lowest child classes be actually used or consumed?
