More than one of our docs issues revolve around some confusion between "IP masquerading" and "SNAT" -- a confusion I might share, or if contagious, I may be catching. <g> I think of SNAT more or less as a special case of IP masquerading, applicable when, for example, the external interface has multiple IP''s and you choose to _explicitly_ set the address through

...===== (1) In section 9.4 (Terminology) the definition for "Classes" states that: "A classful qdisc may have many classes, which each are internal to the qdisc. Each of these classes may contain a real qdisc". As far as I can understand, each class can actually contain one _or more_ qdiscs. Furthermore, (at least in the case of CBQ) a class may also contain one or more _classes_ (this really puzzled me. But the HOWTO''s example of a CBQ configuration, and a reading of /usr/src/linux-2.4/net/sched/sch_cbq.c appear to indicate this). (2) In section 9.5.2 ("The...
