1 Network classifier cgroup
2 -------------------------
4 The Network classifier cgroup provides an interface to
5 tag network packets with a class identifier (classid).
7 The Traffic Controller (tc) can be used to assign
8 different priorities to packets from different cgroups.
9 Also, Netfilter (iptables) can use this tag to perform
10 actions on such packets.
12 Creating a net_cls cgroups instance creates a net_cls.classid file.
13 This net_cls.classid value is initialized to 0.
15 You can write hexadecimal values to net_cls.classid; the format for these
16 values is 0xAAAABBBB; AAAA is the major handle number and BBBB
17 is the minor handle number.
18 Reading net_cls.classid yields a decimal result.
21 mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls
22 mount -t cgroup -onet_cls net_cls /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls
23 mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0
24 echo 0x100001 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid
25 - setting a 10:1 handle.
27 cat /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid
31 tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 10: htb
33 tc class add dev eth0 parent 10: classid 10:1 htb rate 40mbit
34 - creating traffic class 10:1
36 tc filter add dev eth0 parent 10: protocol ip prio 10 handle 1: cgroup
38 configuring iptables, basic example:
39 iptables -A OUTPUT -m cgroup ! --cgroup 0x100001 -j DROP
