[LARTC] Access to TC from linux kernel

[LARTC] Access to TC from linux kernel

[lists brk]

Hi!,

I am a newbie to LARTC. I have a linux kernel module
which inspects packets and marks the packets using
Netfilter. 

I am aware that I can implement traffic shaping on the
marked packets using tc from the user land. 

I would like to know if I can perform traffic shaping
on the marked packets from within the linux kernel.
Did anyone do something similar to this before?

Thank You,
BRK

You need the fw filter.  This filter can match packets based on the kernel 
mark.

tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 3 handle 1 fw classid 10:1
This filter will match all packets with mark 1 and put them in class 10:1
