Hi I one wants to optimize some ipchains/iptables filtering rules usually does "hashes" by creating users chains and transforming the search from a linear one to a btree like one. For CBQ filters one possibility is using hashmask along with u32 devisor and ht parameter for filters. Is the "link" parameter (used to specify the "major" number of a hash) only for devisor created hashes ? Im trying to emultate the "user chains" from firewall into CBQ filters (the fwmark wouldnt do couse even the search in firewall would be a btree, the search for a fwmark would be linear and wouldnt scale well for many classes). Im using this test commands: /sbin/tc qdisc del dev eth0 root /sbin/tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: cbq bandwidth 100Mbit allot 1514 avpkt 1000 cell 8 /sbin/tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 cbq bandwidth 100Mbit rate 100Mbit avpkt 1000 prio 8 allot 1514 weight 1 maxburst 21 /sbin/tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 estimator 1sec 8sec cbq bandwidth 100Mbit rate 16kbit avpkt 1000 prio 5 allot 1514 weight 1 maxburst 21 bounded /sbin/tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:20 estimator 1sec 8sec cbq bandwidth 100Mbit rate 128kbit avpkt 1000 prio 5 allot 1514 weight 1 maxburst 21 bounded /sbin/tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:10 pfifo limit 131 /sbin/tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:20 pfifo limit 131 The above lines just create 2 cbq classes on eth0 and atach a pfifo qdisc on the leaf classes. /sbin/tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 prio 5 protocol ip u32 match ip dst 213.157.165.0/24 link 2: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument This is because "link" can ONLY be used with "devisor" created tables ?
