  Subject: tc filter matches ip fileds inside pppoe frames


  I have a requirement which I guess it is not too unusually, however I haven't 
  quite figured out how to do it and couldn't find any examples which handle that.

  I have made myself a Linux-based bridge, eth0 bridged with
  eth1 to form br0.

  In this bridge, I run 'tc' script to handle QoS.

  So far nothing unusual.

  However, what's different is that this bridge is sitted in between a pppoe client 
  and pppoe server, ie pppoe frames are bridge between the Linux bridge, and 
  I am interested to perform QoS on the pppoe frames, based on the ip tos setting 
  of the ppp packets ( encapsulated inside the pppoe frames ).

  For example, normal tc script :-

  tc filter add dev ppp0 parent 1:0 prio 10 u32 \
       match ip tos 0x10 0xff \
       flowid 1:4

  This will work on a ppp0 device because the ppp0 has ip packets flowing through 
  it. Now in my bridge, there is no such device, I only have access to eth0 or eth1,
  how could I perform the same thing on devices such as eth0 or eth1, but matching 
  the ip TOS setting inside the pppoe frame ?

  Best regards.

Perhaps this will be one step closer to matching ip TOS inside the PPPOE
frame :-

 # tc filter add dev vlan0 parent 1:0 protocol 0x8864 prio 10 u32 \
     match u32 0x00100000 0x00ff0000 at  .... \
     flowid 1:4

Protocol 0x8864 refers to PPP_SES.

But the question where is the location of the TOS filed in the ip header
encapsulated inside the PPP frame ? What if the IP header is compressed
inside the ppp frame ?

Cheers
