Firewall mark classifier in tc(8) LinuxFirewall mark classifier in tc(8)
fw - fwmark traffic control filter
tc filter ... fw [ classid CLASSID ] [ action ACTION_SPEC ]
the fw filter allows one to classify packets based on a
previously set fwmark by iptables. If the masked value of the
fwmark matches the filter's masked handle, the filter matches. By
default, all 32 bits of the handle and the fwmark are masked.
iptables allows one to mark single packets with the MARK target,
or whole connections using CONNMARK. The benefit of using this
filter instead of doing the heavy-lifting with tc itself is that
on one hand it might be convenient to keep packet filtering and
classification in one place, possibly having to match a packet
just once, and on the other users familiar with iptables but not
tc will have a less hard time adding QoS to their setups.
classid CLASSID
Push matching packets to the class identified by CLASSID.
action ACTION_SPEC
Apply an action from the generic actions framework on
matching packets.
Take e.g. the following tc filter statement:
tc filter add ... handle 6 fw classid 1:1
will match if the packet's fwmark value is 6. This is a sample
iptables statement marking packets coming in on eth0:
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -j MARK --set-mark 6
Specific bits of the packet's fwmark can be set using the skbedit
action. For example, to only set one bit of the fwmark without
changing any other bit:
tc filter add ... action skbedit mark 0x8/0x8
The fw filter can then be used to match on this bit by masking
the handle:
tc filter add ... handle 0x8/0x8 fw action drop
This is useful when different bits of the fwmark are assigned
different meanings.
