Problems matching by mac address

Hey all,

 

            I recently read on a prior post as well as the FAQ that packets can be limited by mac address using the u32 filter. I attempted this and, while all the commands went through with no errors, it is not limiting at all. I’m attempting to limit all IP traffic to a specific destination mac address (00:12:3f:05:43:7f). Here is a quick rundown of the commands I’ve used:

 

tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: prio

tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:1 handle 11: pfifo

tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:2 handle 12: htb

 

tc class add dev eth1 parent 12: classid 12:10 htb rate 128kbit

tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 12:10 sfq quantum 1514 perturb 15

 

tc filter add dev eth1 protocol ip parent 12: prio 5 u32 match u16 0x0800 0xFFFF at -2 match u32 0x3f05437f 0xFFFFFF at -12 match u16 0x0012 0xFFFF at -14 flowid 12:10

 

eth1 is the outgoing interface on a bridge I have setup.

 

When I download a large file through the bridge, it is still showing 7Mbit on a 10Mbit network. The weird part is, everything limits just fine if I change the filter to match by IP destination instead of mac address destination. The only problem with this is that I require it be done by mac address. The filter by ip I use is:

 

tc filter add dev eth1 protocol ip parent 12: prio 5 u32 match ip dst xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32 flowid 12:10

 

Filtering by destination IP has worked for me for months now just fine. The only problem is, I’m opening up DHCP to a pool and want to limit by destination mac address since I can’t be sure what IP someone is getting without interaction with the dhcp lease file. Does anyone notice anything I may be doing wrong? Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

 

Adam
