12 the fw filter allows one 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 one to mark single packets with the
15 MARK target, or whole connections using CONNMARK. The benefit of using
16 this filter instead of doing the heavy-lifting with tc itself is that
17 on one hand it might be convenient to keep packet filtering and classi‐
18 fication in one place, possibly having to match a packet just once, and
19 on the other users familiar with iptables but not tc will have a less
20 hard 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.

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
