I have a general question about dummynet's pipes.  I've read the
docs/man/etc... I just can't seem to figure out if what I'd like to do is
possible.  Hopefully someone else could shed some light on the subject.

Let's say, for example, I have 10 ip addresses, and I want to simulate 10
half-duplex 128Kbit pipes.  Each IP getting it's own 128Kbit pipe.

Do I need to create all 10 pipes, associate 10 queues, and then shunt the
traffic to/from each of those ip's into the queue?

Or is there some way (with src/dst masks, etc...) to have dummynet
dynamically do this?  To be honest, I haven't quite figured out the exact
purpose of the masks when setting up queues.

Thanks
