[LARTC] Resolved: HTB filters' parent

[LARTC] Resolved: HTB filters' parent

[Denis Ovsienko]

I have examined user's configuration and found that while child classes
had correct filters, the root qdisc hadn't any filter that could direct
packets to lower classes. Most examples attach filters to root qdisc for
unknown reason. The information on LARTC web-site (which is gone ATM,
but nobody cares about that) was incorrect. You don't have to attach all
filters to root qdisc, HTB code handles filters as well as CBQ does.
The issue is resolved, Martin, thank you for help.

Sorry, Denis, I have missed your first message.

When I twidded with htb, I noticed that filters do work being attached to
child classes, too. There was some limitations, as far as i can remember
(filters can drop packets even to upper classes but can not drop to
different branches... or otherwise...), but it worked. It was necessary,
of course, cascade filters to have it working.

[brick]

so by saying the issue is resolved, you mean that there was an issue:)
i bumped into it myself-not being able to create filters and make them 
work unless they were attached to the root qdisc.
what do i do to get this fixed version(i hope that s what you meant by 
saying it was resolved)?
thank you
and merry christmas:)
