Summary: missing native u32 classifier for routing policy
Product: Networking
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: all since 2.2
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: P1
Component: IPV4
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]This is not a bug report, but a feature request.
routing policy database management is supported since linux 2.2, but it lacks u32 selector (matching by IP protocols, transport ports).
fwmark is a workaround for this missing feature, but source ip address selection will not work anyway: the mark value can't be used for source address selection because at the time source address selection is performed, there is no packet yet and thus no mark value.
