I want to put very clear this idea, because I am interested in this too!
If I want to put a Linux machine with bridge and HTB shaping, and only
that (NO firewall, no iptables, no nothing, only bridge and HTB for
shaping).
Do I need to patch the kernel with anything other that the HTB patch (if
my linux kernel < 2.4.20 )
Thanks!
