Right now, there are about 6000 classes in a hierarchy, built upon the hierarchycal token bucket qdisc. I'd like to build a Free/Open/NetBSD router, utilizing ALTQ+pf, to replace the linux machine, but as far as I know, the maximum number of classes (at least in the FreeBSD implementation) is limited to 256 for CBQ and 64 for HSFC, which is absolutely insufficient for my needs. Finally, my question is is there a way to raise the maximum number of classes in a hierarchy (besides the artificial change in altq_hfsc.h and altq_cbq.h)? How stable would a system like that be? If you have any suggestions for a setup, which can do the job of traffic controlling /19 with a hierarchy of classes, each with different guaranteed and maximum rates, I'd be very grateful.
