Basically I want to mark tc_index in Netfilter based on protocol and I want to use IP QOS based on the protocol. If I mark tc_index in netfilter code based on protocol ( since netfilter connection Tracker can Identify the state of the packet and its protocol ), and then give QoS according to protocol in IP QOS code by looking at tc_index marked in netfilter code. Pls let me know if where to mark tc_index in the Netfilter code ? Shud it be done in Connection Tracker code ? Or in ip_nat_xxx.c code ( ex. Ip_nat_tcp.c etc...) ?

May be u can do it similar to how a packet mark value is set. Tc_index field corresponds to the /skb->tc_index/ field located in the packet /sk_buff structure. /This field is handled only in the QOS code. If its possible to let it out, any specific reasons why it has to be done in the netfilter code ?
