Hi All,


I'm new one the list and thought it somewhat appropriate to 
divulge a little info about myself 

Name: Cilliè
Country : South-Africa 

I work for a ISP and we have been playing with tc/iptables/iproute
snort and a whole load of other stuff on and off for the past view months. 

I have a small problem with tc that I struggle to find a solution for and was 
wondering if someone would be so kind as to help with it. 

I have successfully set up some queuing chains, classfull and some 
tbf's and sfq's but felt limited with the extent of tc's packet classifier. 

So i thought that the FWMARK thing would be a great solution to the problem, 
but unfortunately I can not get this to work. 

Marking of the packets appears to be successfull but tc's classifier 
[ rule something like "fw handle 6" ] fails to pick up the marked packets 
( if its all right if i explain this so crudely ) 

I have tried several different kernels, with the patches applied, and yet it 
still seems to fail in this. 

First was a patched RH 7.3 kernel ( 2.5.18-3 ) 
A redhat 9 kernel and a 
gentoo linux kernel that had already been patched with [filter on fwmark] 
and all the other relevant stuff. 

All the relevant options are compiled in. 

As i'm writing this a stock 2.4.20 kernel is also being compiled. 

Could anyone please try and clarify for me why this does not work ( or what I 
am 10 to 1 doing wrong ?) 

I would really appreciate this 


Best Regards, 
Ciiliè
