You cannot have u32 filter witout telling the protocol too. The correct line should be: /sbin/tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 prio 5 handle 2: protocol ip u32 divisor 256 There is also another error in the HOWTO (I think): "Ok, some numbers need explaining. The default hash table is called 800:: and all filtering starts there. Then we select the source address, which lives as position 12, 13, 14 and 15 in the IP header, and indicate that we are only interested in the last part. This we send to hash table 1:, which we created earlier." This is wrong. The hash table in in fact 2: and not 1: . ---------------------------- Mihai RUSU Disclaimer: Any views or opinions presented within this e-mail are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of any company, unless otherwise specifically stated.
