[Nottingham] Bandwidth shaping *correction*

Can you actually use tc on VLAN interfaces these days? I seem to remember a 
few years ago it would only work with "real" interfaces and would barf on 
bridge/vlan stuff.

Would it be possible to put the limiting on the eth0 side for traffic 
destined for the eth1.10 vlan segment?

To be honest I gave in with tc a while ago as I found it to be a total 
nightmare ;)  I've been using a modified (userspace) shaperd tool to shape 
bandwidth on our network. For our OS torrents I allow upto 100Mbit to go out 
on peering and substantially less if its using a transit provider. I have 
this setup on our Linux "single ended" routers with VLAN running on top of 4 
bonded nics using iptable rules with "-j QUEUE" which then gets shaped by 
the userspace daemon. It isn't as flexible as tc in any way (and probably a 
lot more resource hungry), but since this is the only thing we shape it 
"works for me".
