This example shows how a combination of BPF programs can be used to perform
per-IP classification and rate limiting. The simulation in this example
shows an example where N+M devices are combined and use 1 WAN. Traffic sent
from/to the "neighbor" devices have their combined bandwidth capped at
128kbit, and the rest of the traffic can use an additional 1Mbit.

This works by sharing a map between various tc ingress filters, each with
a related set of bpf functions attached. The map stores a list of dynamically
learned ip addresses that were seen on the neighbor devices and should be
throttled.

To run the example:

$ sudo /path/to/neighbor_sharing/neighbor_sharing.py
Starting netserver with host 'IN(6)ADDR_ANY' port '12865' and family AF_UNSPEC
Starting netserver with host 'IN(6)ADDR_ANY' port '12865' and family AF_UNSPEC

Network ready. Create a shell in the wan0 namespace and test with netperf
   (Neighbors are 172.16.1.100-102, and LAN clients are 172.16.1.150-151)
 e.g.: ip netns exec wan0 netperf -H 172.16.1.100 -l 2
Press enter when finished:


In another shell:
$ sudo ip netns exec wan0 netperf -H 172.16.1.100 -l 2

The bandwidth is throttled according to the IP.
