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? jamal wrote it previously: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119253403415810&w=2 -- Attila - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
