Hello, we have about 20 000 classes, we mark packets with iptables and we use marks and classids which match each other (for example mark 0x2064 is directed via tc filter rule to class 1:0x2064), so we have about 20 000 filters too. I have read somewhere (probably on docum.org) that is it possible to write filter without specifying handle and classid, and such filter will direct packets to classes by their marks. So rule: tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 1 fw would direct packets marked as 0x1666 to class 1:0x1666, packets marked with 0x1667 to class 1:0x1667 and so on. When I create needed classes (test): tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 100000kbit I can run above tc filter command without problems. But here strange things begin. Regardless mentioned tc filter run or not tc -s filter ls dev eth0 always shows on first row filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 1 fw But when I run tc filter del dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 1 fw this row dissapears. I would like to know if it is possible to use such tc filter for all marks, and why there is such strange behaviour when listing filters. System is dual dualcore Opteron running latest Gentoo x86-64 with kernel 2.6.27-r8, iproute2 2.6.22.20070710 and iptables 1.4.0-r1.
