1 | Network classifier cgroup |
| 2 | ------------------------- | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | The Network classifier cgroup provides an interface to | |
| 5 | tag network packets with a class identifier (classid). | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | The Traffic Controller (tc) can be used to assign | |
| 8 | different priorities to packets from different cgroups. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | Creating a net_cls cgroups instance creates a net_cls.classid file. | |
| 11 | This net_cls.classid value is initialized to 0. | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | You can write hexadecimal values to net_cls.classid; the format for these | |
| 14 | values is 0xAAAABBBB; AAAA is the major handle number and BBBB | |
| 15 | is the minor handle number. | |
| 16 | Reading net_cls.classid yields a decimal result. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | Example: | |
| 19 | mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls | |
| 20 | mount -t cgroup -onet_cls net_cls /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls | |
| 21 | mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0 | |
| 22 | echo 0x100001 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid | |
| 23 | - setting a 10:1 handle. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | cat /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid | |

| 28 | configuring tc: | |
| 29 | tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 10: htb | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | tc class add dev eth0 parent 10: classid 10:1 htb rate 40mbit | |
| 32 | - creating traffic class 10:1 | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | tc filter add dev eth0 parent 10: protocol ip prio 10 handle 1: cgroup |
