Hi, I am trying to change the skb priority of the packets going out to a particular destination. Then I use vlan set_egress_map to change the vlan priority of the packet. This works as I want it to, the confusing part is I do not know why it works! I use the following two commands: change the skb->priority (?) for the packets that I am interested in to 3: iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -d 192.168.10.75 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 0:3 change the vlan priority of the packet leaving over the vlan vconfig set_egress_map eth4.2 3 3 This does send a packet on the wire with MAC layer priority of 3, which is what I want. What I am trying to understand is the action that iptables is taking. I do not have any class under the root qdisc on eth4. The root qdisc has handle 0: It would be great if someone could explain how iptables is classifying the packet in a way which changes the skb->priority of the packet.
