+.TH "Simple action in tc" 8 "12 Jan 2015" "iproute2" "Linux"
+
+.SH NAME
+simple - basic example action
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.in +8
+.ti -8
+.BR tc " ... " "action simple"
+.I STRING
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is a pedagogical example rather than an actually useful action. Upon every access, it prints the given
+.I STRING
+which may be of arbitrary length.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.I STRING
+The actual string to print.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following example makes the kernel yell "Incoming ICMP!" every time it sees
+an incoming ICMP on eth0. Steps are:
+.IP 1) 4
+Add an ingress qdisc point to eth0
+.IP 2) 4
+Start a chain on ingress of eth0 that first matches ICMP then invokes the
+simple action to shout.
+.IP 3) 4
+display stats and show that no packet has been seen by the action
+.IP 4) 4
+Send one ping packet to google (expect to receive a response back)
+.IP 5) 4
+grep the logs to see the logged message
+.IP 6) 4
+display stats again and observe increment by 1
+
