Well I've got one more question. Consider using 2 additional tables like this: iptables -N table1 iptables -N table2 iptbales -A FORWARD -s 192.168.2.1 -j table1 iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.2.2 -j table2 iptables -A table1 -m quota --quota 10000 -j RETURN iptables -A table1 -j DROP iptables -A table2 -m quota --quota 10000 -j RETURN iptables -A table2 -j DROP By doing this I'll limit outgoing traffic for 192.168.2.1 and for .2 independently and the speed won't be too small I hope. Then consider I have not 2 but 100 tables like table1, table2, ... table100. What about the perfomance in this case? Won't it be too small?
