[LARTC] how to filter based upon MAC

[LARTC] how to filter based upon MAC

[Adam B. Fineberg]

It isn't obvious to me from the lartc howto or frmo the tc source how to 
set a filter to send all traffic destined for a specified MAC to a 
particular class.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Hi,
I hardly think it is possible to send traffic for MAC address
to a particular class.
I had tried it myself and failed miserably.
It all started when i wanted to control the "upload" traffic
on my LAN.
I found out (from the lartc HOWTO) ,that you could mark packets 
using iptables based on the MAC source for incoming packets,
on an incoming interface.
Then we send these marked packets to a destined class
on the outgoing interface.

The basic problem is that you can only mark packets
based on MAC for packets coming from an ethernet device.

I'm not sure, but can iptables mark packets based on Max address?  If yes, 
you can use the fw filter to put the marked packets in a class.
