Re: QoS with netfilter

Hi,

If you want to know how DSMARK and DSCP is used for QOS, check out the following link
http://opalsoft.net/qos/DS-29.htm
However, this doesnt use netfilter.

If you want to use netfilter, I think the best way is to have iptablerules in FORWARD, to set mark values on the basis of specific conditions,

like --src 192.168.1.0/24 -j MARK --set-mark 1.

This mark value can be further used in tc filter commands..
If this will suffice you,  I can elaborate more on this process.

Regards,
Vinod C

Sorry you are right.

Have anyone actually used this feature in iptables?

Yes.

No, I do not need this router to handle these packages with *any* QoS.
Other router handle QoS. In fact a lot of router are updated to handle QoS.

These bits should work nice in theory, but in my experience they offer little to no improvement.

a) confirmation that this feature actually is implemented and should
work with the 2.6.12 kernel (or that it is not!)

It should work, yes.

b) things to verify like patches etc

No clue.

c) actual commands to test this

tcpdump -i eth0 -v

prints out the tos field on all packets traversing the interface eth0.
