[LARTC] prio

[LARTC] prio

[kasp]

Hi!

Could somebody tell me, what is difference between these two prio
parameters in http://lartc.org/lartc.html#AEN2241

1) tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate ${UPLINK}kbit burst 6k prio 1
                                                                                 ^^^^^^
AND

2) tc filter add dev $DEV parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 10 u32 match ip tos 0x10 0xff flowid 1:10
                                                 ^^^^^^^

Why they aren't equal?
Is there some rules to set prio for each of them?

prio on htb mainly affects the way it shares excess bandwidth - the 
lower the number the higher the priority.

On filters it lets you choose the order your rules get tested against 
the packets.

I haven't look at the script - but the prio on the filter is unlikely to 
make any noticable difference if changed/ommitted.

Andy.
