Hi Peter, I was working on this problem and came up with a solution... Instead of using tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 25 u32 match tcp src 0x1f90 0xffff flowid 1:100 use : tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 25 u32 match ip dport 0x1f90 0xffff flowid 1:100 This works, because I think the mechanism of u32 is like : when it comes across 'match tcp' it maps this to nexthdr+ 0 ( you can see it with " tc filter show dev eth1" ) but when it comes across 'match ip <dport>' It maps to offset byte directly so when you do a tc filter show dev eth1 you see match PATTERN/MASK at 20( or whatever offset you specify, but note that it doesnt specify nexthdr+...) This works.. So I presume that there is something wrong with the implementation of nexthdr ..Maybe Jamal or Werner should look into it. Hope you get along.Feel free to ask for further clarifications.
