Re: [Bloat] What is the ifb4 interface?

[Sam]

While on the subject... I'm more interested in the packet flow. Like 
where does iptables fit at between the ifb and eth0?

Well it's not great, maybe something like this
example 
 
Here's the dia file (gzip'd cause github)
example.dia.gz 



I was trying to wrap my head around why ifb4 existed and how it worked. 
Maybe it could somehow explain that qdisc's can only work on packets 
leaving a device and that's the reason for the ifb4.
