Hmmm - my white hairs must really be showing... ;-} Really - Matthew is
fine.

Anyway - Definitely read Bart's Advanced Routing HowTo (Phil gave the
link) - ignore most of the Policy Routing stuff (he and I have issues...)
but the TC Traffic Control parts are very well done.

Also I have a kernal patch (part of the PakSecured Master Kernal Patch)
that will allow you to use the u32 filter as a nfmark engine as well as
for Ingress Control. My bet is that you are actually looking for Egress
structures only so that may not be needed. Also if you need only simple
multi-stream filtering (if this is related to the stuff we talked about a
week ago) then definately check out Devik's HTB queue. It is easier on the
configuration and works quite well.
