On egress the src MAC is replaced with new one and there is no good reason to apply U32 filters for sender's MAC. > > Before this, I have successfully implement QoS through source and > > destination IP address using CBQ.

Just Why not, just use negative offsets with U32 to access the 14-byte eth frame header before the IP header: Decimal Ofs Description ----------------------------------- -14: DST MAC, 6 bytes -8: SRC MAC, 6 bytes -2: Eth PROTO, 2 bytes, eg.
