LARTC - Apr 2004 - CLASSIFY target documentation

Where can I find information on the CLASSIFY target? I saw it in some
examples people posted on this list, but I cannot find it in the LARTC
Howto or with Google.

I need to classify packets into PRIO queues based on iptables rules. I
am currently setting MARKs during classification. Unfortunately, if I
understand correctly u32 cannot see marks because they''re not in the
packet, so my next obvious solution is to skip MARKing them and just
CLASSIFY them...

So, pointers to documentation on CLASSIFY would be appreciated. Also,
if it is an optional feature, that means I''ll have to apply a patch
from the PatchoMatic, right?

the only documentation i know about classify is provided by
patch-o-matic.
You may prefer to use "handle $mark fw" as a filter to match netfilter
marks.
Or depending on your needs, you may only want to use u32 without
netfilter marks.
As you probably know there''s a howto on http://lartc.org
