The attached patch enables the kernel to copy the netfilter MARK values
from IPv6 packets to sit (IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel) packets. It enables you to
provide QoS on tunneled IPv6 packets.
I haven't yet completed my scripts yet, but I'll post a link to the list as
soon as it's ready for testing.
For now, you can use something like this:
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o sitX <rules here> -j MARK --set-mark <mark>
and on your real outgoing interface to your provider:
tc filter add dev <DEV> parent 1:0 protocol ip handle <mark> fw classid <class>
or:
iptables [...] -p ipv6 -m mark --mark <mark> [...]
Please note that this could interfere with existing firewall rules.
Please help me test this before I submit it to the linux kernel mailing
list for inclusion in the mainstream kernel.
