LARTC - Jul 2005 - iptables MARK behaviour out of the box

Hi all,
Short question: what happens with the mark on a packet once it''s out of
the box? Is is usable in another computer in the network or the mark is only
valid in the same box you''ve marked the packet?

Thank you,
Alex

No, the manual says that the MARKs set with iptables are
usable only within the box that sets them. It''s like some
metadata attached to the packet. If you want to modify
QoS packet settings, you should try playing with the TOS
field settings.
