[LARTC] classid or flowid ? which is better ?

[raptor]

 use flowid to direct it to the leaf-class-child-qdisc ?!
what is the difference ?

classid = flowid.  You can use both.

]- doesnt seem the same.. u can't use flowid to point to class or classid to point to qdisc ?!
The question is does it have some other implication  !  say speed :"!

leaf-class   <--classid
  |---- qdisc    <----flowid

I don't understand what you want to say, but from the tc source :
f_fw.c:
                if (matches(*argv, "classid") = 0 ||
                    matches(*argv, "flowid") = 0) {
f_u32.c:
                } else if (matches(*argv, "classid") = 0 ||
                           strcmp(*argv, "flowid") = 0) {
f_route.c:
                } else if (matches(*argv, "classid") = 0 ||
                           strcmp(*argv, "flowid") = 0) {
