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