You would probably need to somehow mark the packets, and then let "tc"
match based on that mark.  Otherwise you would need to implement the
DPI inside tc.

You could look into seeting the "fwmark" based on DPI, and then have tc
match on that.

Or you could look into setting a DSCP value based on DPI, and then match
on that, using, e.g., the u32 match of tc.

See, e.g., https://lartc.org/howto/lartc.adv-filter.html for additional
info.

HTH,
Erik
