I'm doing this in my setup. To match packet sizes, I use a filter that looks at the 3rd byte in the ip header. The total length in the ip header takes up two bytes, bytes 3 to 4 (or 2-3 if you're counting starting from 0 as you should when using a filter) for a maximum packet size of 65535. My filter looks like the following: tc filter add dev ppp0 parent 2:0 protocol ip prio 5 u32 match ip \ protocol 6 0xff match u8 0x00 0xff at 2 flowid 2:3 The second match does the following: It looks in the first byte of the two byte field and matches 00 only. This means that the packet can only be big enough to fill up on byte worth of data which equates to a size no greater then 255 bytes. You can play around with it to get different values. It seems to work fine for me.
