The hash tables created with: tc filter add ... handle A: u32 divisor B and distributed to with: tc filter add ... u32 ht C:: match ... hashkey mask D at E link A: the first line creates a hash table A with B entries and the second line directs packets to the table entries based on the result of applying the mask D to the match value. This substantially reduces the number filters that need to be searched for each packet since the kernel can simply use the hashkey as an index into the table. What I want to do is direct packets to hash table entries based on the firewall mark. I only see documentation and directing packets to hash table entries using the u32 selector. Since the firewall mark is not part of the packet itself, I can't use u32. Paul C.
