LARTC - Dec 2002 - Marking and bandwidth share

Hello!

I am trying to figure out a way to accomplish both DSCP marking and
bandwidth sharing at an edge router; the packets will first be classified
based on IP address, ports, etc. So, the tc set-up would be something like:

	Incoming packets ---> Classifier (u32 filter) ---> DSCP marking
(dsmark) ---> schedule (e.g., HTB)

I am a little confused on how to schedule packets into appropriate HTB class
after dsmark?? Or is there an alternate way?

Any comments/suggestions are welcome.

Thank you
Regards

Kaustubh,

Here is how I do it:

Incoming packets ---> Classifier (u32 filter) ---> schedule (e.g., HTB)
---> DSCP marking (dsmark)

If you absolutely need to mark before the "scheduling", than maybe you
can use
iptable.
