Perhaps this will be one step closer to matching ip TOS inside the PPPOE
frame :-
# tc filter add dev vlan0 parent 1:0 protocol 0x8864 prio 10 u32 \
match u32 0x00100000 0x00ff0000 at .... \
flowid 1:4
Protocol 0x8864 refers to PPP_SES.
But the question where is the location of the TOS filed in the ip header
encapsulated inside the PPP frame ? What if the IP header is compressed
inside the ppp frame ?
Cheers
