12 the fw filter allows to classify packets based on a previously set
13 fwmark by iptables. If it is identical to the filter's handle, the
14 filter matches. iptables allows to mark single packets with the MARK
15 target, or whole connections using CONNMARK. The benefit of using this
16 filter instead of doing the heavy-lifting with tc itself is that on one
17 hand it might be convenient to keep packet filtering and classification
18 in one place, possibly having to match a packet just once, and on the
19 other users familiar with iptables but not tc will have a less hard
20 time adding QoS to their setups.

23 classid CLASSID
24 Push matching packets to the class identified by CLASSID.
25
26 action ACTION_SPEC
27 Apply an action from the generic actions framework on matching
28 packets.
29
31 Take e.g. the following tc filter statement:
32
33 tc filter add ... handle 6 fw classid 1:1
34
35 will match if the packet's fwmark value is 6. This is a sample ipta‐
36 bles statement marking packets coming in on eth0:
37
38 iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -j MARK --set-mark 6
