Metering + policing

• Meters can be attached to filters

• Mostly same paramaters as token bucket eg

  • tc filter add dev ... police rate 1.5Mbit burst 90k action drop

• Actions (exceed/not_exceed) are:

  • drop (drop the packet)
  • continue (lookup the next filter rule with lower prio)
  • reclassify (currently only used by CBQ to go to BE)

• meters automatically given IDs

  • can define Ids (look at examples/diffserv directory)
