[root@localhost ~]# ip rule add dsfield 0x28 table 200
Error: argument "dsfield" is wrong: Failed to parse rule type
why???
how to match 'dsfield' ?
[root@localhost ~]# ip rule add tos 0x28 table 200
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
(My OS is Fedora 11 : kernel-2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 ,
iproute-2.6.29-2.fc11.i586 ;
on my another linux box ( Fedora 7) 'ip rule' also has the same
problem to match tos and dsfield. )

Read the syntax on the man page:
ip rule [ list | add | del | flush ] SELECTOR ACTION
SELECTOR := [ from PREFIX ] [ to PREFIX ] [ tos TOS ] [ fwmark
FWMARK[/MASK] ] [ dev STRING ] [ pref NUMBER ]
There is no mention of dsfield argument.

TOS field is masked by down to only 2 bits.
See include/net/route.h in kernel source.
I think the reason was that with original TOS (pre dsfield) route design,
the implementors wanted to save space.
