I always thought that the "PRIORITY" column in tcclasses defines the priority with which a certain packet is served. From man shorewall-tcclasses:
PRIORITY - priority: The priority in which classes will be serviced by the packet shaping scheduler and also the priority in which bandwidth in excess of the rate will be given to each class. Higher priority classes will experience less delay since they are serviced first. Priority values are serviced in ascending order (e.g. 0 is higher priority than 1). Classes may be set to the same priority, in which case they will be serviced as equals. What is the difference between the priority you introduce with your patch and the PRIORITY column in tcclasses? How is the priority of classes described in tcrules determined then, if it is not the one defined in the PRIORITY column in tclcasses? Where is this priority specified (for outgoing packets) in tc statements currently? For incoming packets I understand this is the "prio XX" value, but for outgoing packets where is this defined? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
