Hi,

Thats what I got using this script where I copied your commands:

----------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

DEV=dummy0

ip link del $DEV 2> /dev/null

ip link add dev $DEV type dummy

tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 1: htb

tc filter add dev $DEV parent 1:0 prio 5 handle 15: protocol ip u32 divisor 256
tc filter add dev $DEV protocol ip parent 1: prio 5 handle 15:2:2 u32 ht 15:2: match ip src 10.0.0.2 flowid 1:10
tc filter add dev $DEV protocol ip parent 1: prio 5 handle 15:2:3 u32 ht 15:2: match ip src 10.0.0.3 flowid 1:10

tc filter del dev $DEV protocol ip parent 1: prio 5 handle 15:2:3 u32

tc filter show dev $DEV
# ---------------------------------

Result is:

filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 5 u32 
filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 5 u32 fh 15: ht divisor 256 
filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 5 u32 fh 15:2:2 order 2 key ht 15 bkt 2 flowid 1:10 
  match 0a000002/ffffffff at 12
filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 5 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1
