traffic shaping on per-host base

[Rudolph Bott <r@xxxxxxx>]

Hello list,

I have already successfully used tc for traffic shaping on a 
per-service base. However, my new setup is a bit different:

Using a (e.g.) 100Mbit connection, I would like to limit a set of hosts 
to a certain bandwidth (e.g. 1Mbit per host) - but EACH host should be 
able to use 1 Mbit/s (rather than sharing 1 Mbit with other hosts). 
Would that be possible with tc? Do I have to create one queue per host 
with a limit of 1MBit/s and a match filter for the client's ip address? 
If that is a the case, how many queues can I create? Would it impose a 
problem for a system to handle e.g. 500 or even 10.000 queues at the 
same time? I wasn't able to find many information on this specific topic 
- so any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
