Is there a way to force ingress traffic into appearing as egress traffic for the purpose of traffic shaping. e.g. eth0 ------> TestMachine -------> lo ---------> TestMachine ---------> eth1 Can you use a loopback or similar interface so that it appears that the data is being sent out and back in a pseudo-interface? This would allow egress filtering as it was passed out the loopback interface before it was then forwarded along to eth1. The reason I am trying this is I have multiple ppp0 interfaces running over the eth1 interface. Rather than trying to manage each one individually, it would be easier for my purposes to use u32 identifiers on a single interface in order to manage traffic. Kind regards, John Hanlon.
