A friend and I were discussing last week how each device on an IPv6
network can and will have multiple addresses, so classifying becomes a
bit trickier. But I guess most devices are supposed to have one (ha!)
/64, so you can ignore the lower-order bits? I assume that sort of
IPv6 alias resolution is a solved problem already...?

It sounds to me like you want to assign each device its own netfilter
MARK, and mark each packet (by MAC?) on ingress, and then use the mark
plus any other port/protocol selection you want to put it into the
appropriate queue.

You might try assigning each device to a user, and then marking as
above, assuming only one user at a time on a device.

I guess that doing this would address (in the local/home network) what
Bob Briscoe was getting at in our earlier thread:

"Since 2004, we now understand that fairness has to involve accounting
over time. That requires per-user state, which is not something you
can do, or that you need to do, within every queue. We should leave
fairness to separate code, probably on machines specialising in this
at the edge of a provider's network domain - where it knows about
users/customers - separate from the AQM code of each specific queue."
