question on fwmark speed boost

[Wolfgang Hennerbichler <wogri@wogri.com>]

Hi,

following tc config:

tc qdisc add dev wan0 root handle 1: htb default 12
tc class add dev wan0 parent 1:0 classid 1:12 htb rate 9500mbit ceil
9500mbit
tc class add dev wan0 parent 1:0 classid 1:2001 htb rate 9500mbit ceil
9500mbit
tc class add dev wan0 parent 1:0 classid 1:2002 htb rate 100kbit ceil
100kbit

# add filter - all marked packets should be classified automatically
according to the fwmark - as far as I've read online

tc filter add dev wan0 parent 1:0 protocol ip fw

iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -j CONNMARK --restore-mark
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -m mark ! --mark 0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A POSTROUTING -m physdev --physdev-out wan0 -p udp -s 1.2.3.4
-t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2001
iptables -A POSTROUTING -m physdev --physdev-out wan0 -p tcp -s 1.2.3.4
-t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2002
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -j CONNMARK --save-mark


my filter does not work as intended. I thought it would automatically
use the marks, and put the traffic into the right classes. It doesn't
seem to work. I have troubles finding documentation on this, so maybe
anybody can shed some light on this.

Wolfgang
