[Cake] cake separate qos for lan

[Dave Taht]

An overall ISP in tc need exposed by this discussion is some means of
mapping multiple ipv4 and ipv6 addresses and netmasks into something
that will return a (key,value) pair. This would work something like
ipset does, although what you would return is not "present or not" but
present and a value

insert customers 1.1.1.1,1
insert customers 2001:db1::/64,1
insert customers 2.2.2.2,2
insert customers 2001:db2::/64,1

then on the relevant path you'd set up the qdisc hierarchy and do a
lookup into that to get the right number to go to the right cake
instance. You'd also have to do a longest prefix match into the above,
so a 1x1 hash won't do.

the massive tc filter option discussed already does not scale to a
random number of customers with randomly different numbers of ip
addresses, types, and netmasks. Code like this must exist in dedicated
devices already, CMTSes, BRASes, deep packet inspection devices, etc.

Secondly, in the case of cake the hierarchy could just be a bunch of
somewhat unassociated queues, not htb or drr, letting cake do the
scheduling of deliveries.

Regrettably I know of few ISPs that are actively using linux in any
way they have sources to. I suspect a few dslams are linux based, but
nobody's talking.

Another way to maybe get there is to use the ip route functionality
instead and send stuff to virtual devices layered on top of the real
device.

ip route add from :: to 1.1.1.0/24 dev dev1
ip -6 route add from :: to 2001:db1::/64 dev dev1
ip -6 route add from :: to 2001:db2::/64 dev dev2
ip route add from :: to 2.2.2.0/24 dev dev2

Then the reverse would be out one of two devices, one device
configured for the "fast, local cache server", the other for the
regular internet.

solution too long to fit in the margins of this email.
