NAME¶
firehol-dscp - set the DSCP field in the packet header
SYNOPSIS¶
dscp { value | class classid } chain rule-params
DESCRIPTION¶
The dscp helper command sets the DSCP field in the header of packets traffic, to allow QoS shaping.
Note
There is also a dscp parameter which allows matching DSCP values within individual rules (see firehol-params(5)).
Set value to a decimal or hexadecimal (0xnn) number to set an explicit DSCP value or use class classid to use an iptables(8) DiffServ class, such as EF, BE, CSxx or AFxx (see iptables -j DSCP --help for more information).
The chain will be used to find traffic to mark. It can be any of the iptables(8) built in chains belonging to the mangle table. The chain names are: INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT, PREROUTING and POSTROUTING. The names are case-sensitive.
The rule-params define a set of rule parameters to match the traffic that is to be marked within the chosen chain. See firehol-params(5) for more details.
Any dscp commands will affect all traffic matched. They must be declared before the first router or interface.
EXAMPLES¶
-
# set DSCP field to 32, packets sent by the local machine dscp 32 OUTPUT # set DSCP field to 32 (hex 20), packets routed by the local machine dscp 0x20 FORWARD # set DSCP to DiffServ class EF, packets routed by the local machine # and destined for port TCP/25 of 198.51.100.1 dscp class EF FORWARD proto tcp dport 25 dst 198.51.100.1
