In the layer7 filter the examples don't use CONNMARK like with ipp2p, but I 
will try to add CONNMARK to my rules, and see what happens.

I've checked this with tc -s class show dev eth1, and I see almost all the 
traffic going to the p2p class, right now I will add a new ACK rule, to match 
ack packets, since someone told me that might be the problem.

When the tcng code gets compiled, it returns tc commands, and then I can see

Thanks for your interest, I'll check your rules right now, to see if that 
helps.
