[LARTC] Bandwidth shaping and ISP's network peerings

[Jody Shumaker]

That sounds like an overly complicated way to do it.  I would just 
create a 512kbit class with subclasses for the internet traffic, and 
route all MAN traffic into a 100mbit class.  Should be some way to know 
which ip's will go to the MAN. Creating a virtual interface makes little 
sense here, since no matter what you'll have to filter out the MAN traffic.
