Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next] man: use clsact qdisc for port mirroring
 examples on matchall and mirred

From: Arınç ÜNAL <arinc.unal@...nc9.com>

The clsact qdisc supports ingress and egress. Instead of using two qdiscs
to do ingress and egress port mirroring, clsact can be used. Therefore, use
clsact for the port mirroring examples on the tc-matchall.8 and tc-mirred.8
documents.

I've got another incentive that pushed me to make this change.
