NAME

       route - route traffic control filter

SYNOPSIS

       tc filter ... route [ from REALM | fromif TAG ] [ to REALM ] [ classid CLASSID ] [ action ACTION_SPEC ]

DESCRIPTION

       Match  packets  based  on routing table entries. This filter centers around the possibility to assign a realm to routing table entries. For
       any packet to be classified by this filter, a routing table lookup is performed and the returned realm is used to  decide  on  whether  the
       packet is a match or not.

OPTIONS

       action ACTION_SPEC
	      Apply an action from the generic actions framework on matching packets.

       classid CLASSID
	      Push matching packets into the class identified by CLASSID.

       from REALM
       fromif TAG
	      Perform source route lookups.  TAG is the name of an interface which must be present on the system at the time of tc invocation.

       to REALM
	      Match if normal (i.e., destination) routing returns the given REALM.

EXAMPLES

       Consider the subnet 192.168.2.0/24 being attached to eth0:

	      ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 realm 2

       The following route filter will then match packets from that subnet:

	      tc filter add ... route from 2 classid 1:2

       and pass packets on to class 1:2.

NOTES

       Due  to	implementation	details,  realm  values  must  be  in  a  range from 0 to 255, inclusive. Alternatively, a verbose name defined in
       /etc/iproute2/rt_realms may be given instead.
