Simple action in tc(8)            Linux           Simple action in tc(8)

NAME         top

       simple - basic example action

SYNOPSIS         top

       tc ... action simple [ sdata STRING ] [ index INDEX ] [ CONTROL ]

       CONTROL := { reclassify | pipe | drop | continue | ok }

DESCRIPTION         top

       This is a pedagogical example rather than an actually useful
       action. Upon every access, it prints the given STRING which may
       be of arbitrary length.

OPTIONS         top

       sdata STRING
              The actual string to print.

       index INDEX
              Optional action index value.

       CONTROL
              Indicate how tc should proceed after executing the action.
              For a description of the possible CONTROL values, see
              tc-actions(8).

EXAMPLES         top

       The following example makes the kernel yell "Incoming ICMP!"
       every time it sees an incoming ICMP on eth0. Steps are:

       1)  Add an ingress qdisc point to eth0

       2)  Start a chain on ingress of eth0 that first matches ICMP then
           invokes the simple action to shout.

       3)  display stats and show that no packet has been seen by the
           action

       4)  Send one ping packet to google (expect to receive a response
           back)

       5)  grep the logs to see the logged message

       6)  display stats again and observe increment by 1
