Re: [Cake] Per-host fairness

Hi,

Could you also try dual-srchost on egress and dual-srchost on ingress, please. These promise per-IP fairness at the first level and per-flow fairness "inside" each IP. So if you think through it you can setup the ingress and egress shapers to aim for per-internal-IP address which I believe is what you are after. Triple-isolate is much harder to argue with, partly because it is lacking a clear description what it does short of the source code, so it is somewhat opaque what to expect in a given set of bidirectional flows. In short you might have found a flaw in triple-isolate or it is working as intended, which only JM will be able to answer. Cursory experiments in the past indicated that a properly configured dual-srchost/dsthost pair on ingress and egress work closer to a layman's expectations... Oh, with the new and shiny deNAT features the dual-isolation options should now also work on a wan interface for IPv4, thanks to Kevin's persistence.

Best Regards
        Sebastian
