LARTC - May 2007 - how to prioritize by client ip instead of protocol

i have been googling and reading the docs on how to set up a fair que that
gives each user or client ip equal bandwidth.  most, if not all, i find
are examples how to prioritize by the type of traffic such as ssh, http,
ftp, smtp, and various p2p.  is it possible to set up cues for each ip on
the subnet where each user gets a fair turn.   i would probably have to
set the max bandwidth and total que size to avoid latency.  stochastic
fair queuing seems like it might work, but all i find on that is to mark
by protocol.

also, the number of ip''s on the subnet is dynamic.  i would rather not
create a static number of que''s for each ip.

could anyone give me some ideas, so some better search ideas for google,
or a link to a manual that might explain what i was looking for.  again
all i find is how to que or prioritize by protocol, which i do not want to
do.

thanks

matt

I think you should give ESFQ [http://fatooh.org/esfq-2.6/] a ride

looks exactly what you need. I am using it in a setup (~150 clients) and it 
works well IF you want to give all clients the same amount of bandwidth
