+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The CAN classifier may be used with any available
+.B qdisc
+on Controller Area Network (CAN) frames passed through AF_CAN
+networking subsystem. The classifier classifies CAN frames according
+to their identifiers. It can be used on CAN frames with both SFF or
+EFF identifiers.
+
+It is possible to add CAN classifier to any qdisc configured on any networking
+device, however it will ignore non-CAN packets.
+
+
+.SH CLASSIFICATION
+The filtering rules for EFF frames are stored in an array, which is traversed
+during classification. This means that the worst-case time needed for
+classification of EFF frames increases with the number of configured rules.
+
+The filter implements an optimization for matching SFF frames using a bitmap
+with one bit for every ID. With this optimization, the classification time
+for SFF frames is nearly constant independently of the number of rules.
+
+.SH EXAMPLE
+This example shows how to set
+.B prio qdisc
+with
+.B CAN
+classifier.
+
+.nf
+tc qdisc add dev can0 root handle 1: prio
+
+tc filter add dev can0 parent 1:0 prio 1 handle 0xa \\
+ can sffid 0x7ff:0xf flowid 1:1
+tc filter add dev can0 parent 1:0 prio 2 handle 0xb \\
+ can sffid 0xC0:0x7ff effid 0x80:0x7ff flowid 1:2
+tc filter add dev can0 parent 1:0 prio 3 \\
+ can sffid 0x80:0x7ff flowid 1:2
+tc filter add dev can0 parent 1:0 prio 4 \\
+ can sffid 0x0:0x0 effid 0x0:0x0 flowid 1:3

+
+
+.SH BUGS
+The maximum number or rules passed from
+.BR tc(8)
+utility to CAN classifier is fixed. The limit is set at compilation time
+(default is 128).
