Multiple Interfaces per bucket!

[Edward Murphy <edward@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

I have a rather interesting network setup that I would love to implement
TC on  but need some basic help.

From what I understand TC works with the root of an interface.... I
understand the concept of tagging packets using iptables which take
tokens from buckets (if using the correct algorithm), but what happens
when you have multiple sub interfaces?

What i mean is you have the basic idea below.

Local Network -> eth0-|ROUTER|-ppp0  -- +> INTERNET / LOCAL NET

Now what happens when you create openvpn tunnels over ppp0?  You end up
with multiple interfaces (tunX) which are technically their own
interface but are dependant on the bandwidth of ppp0.

What i really need is the ability to use the bandwidth parameters of
ppp0 and traffic shape it and any sub classes.....

I was thinking of tagging the traffic on the eth0 side, but was
wondering if anyone else had any idea's first?

Thanks for any suggestions

- Edward Murphy
