Subject: Re: libpcap and tc filters

ok, I checked now and the packets sent by tcpreplay are identical to
the ones captured originally by wireshark.

I'm using the stock ubuntu 10.04 kernel that wasn't compiled with
CONFIG_CLS_U32_PERF so sudo tc -s filter ls dev eth1 shows nothing
useful (and i'm not sure that recompiling the entire kernel is worth
it to tell me what I already know - that these packets missed the
filters... but i'm willing to do it if you think that'll help).
Anyway, I suspect the problem to be something else - I suspect that
the packets sent using tcpreplay simply skip the filters in the kernel
and are being injected somewhere afterwards. But this theory is
problematic since I find it strange that the packets do end up in the
default queue after all - hence they ARE seen by tc and they don't
skip tc entirely.
