shorewall-tcpri(5)

NAME

   tcpri - Shorewall file

SYNOPSIS

   /etc/shorewall/tcpri

DESCRIPTION

   This file is used to specify the priority of traffic for simple traffic
   shaping (TC_ENABLED=Simple in shorewall.conf[1](5)). The priority band
   of each packet is determined by the last entry that the packet matches.
   If a packet doesn't match any entry in this file, then its priority
   will be determined by its TOS field. The default mapping is as follows
   but can be changed by setting the TC_PRIOMAP option in
   shorewall.conf[1](5).

   The columns in the file are as follows.

   BAND - {1|2|3}
       Classifies matching traffic as High Priority (1), Medium Priority
       (2) or Low Priority (3). For those interfaces listed in
       shorewall-tcinterfaces[2](5), Priority 2 traffic will be deferred
       so long and there is Priority 1 traffic queued and Priority 3
       traffic will be deferred so long as there is Priority 1 or Priority
       2 traffic to send.

   PROTO - protocol[,...]
       Optional. The name or number of an IPv4 protocol.

       Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.12, this column can accept a
       comma-separated list of protocols.

   PORT(S) - port [,...]
       Optional. May only be given if the the PROTO is TCP (6), UDP (17),
       DCCP (33), SCTP (132) or UDPLITE (136). A list of one or more port
       numbers or service names from /etc/services. Port ranges of the
       form lowport:highport may also be included.

   ADDRESS - [address]
       Optional. The IP or MAC address that the traffic originated from.
       MAC addresses must be given in Shorewall format. If this column
       contains an address, then the PROTO, PORT(S) and INTERFACE column
       must be empty ("-").

   INTERFACE - [interface]
       Optional. The logical name of an interface that traffic arrives
       from. If given, the PROTO, PORT(S) and ADDRESS columns must be
       empty ("-").

           Note
           INTERFACE classification of packets occurs before
           classification by PROTO/PORT(S)/ADDRESS. So it is highly
           recommended to place entries that specify INTERFACE at the top
           of the file so that the rule about last entry matches is
           preserved.

   HELPER - [helper]
       Optional. Names a Netfilter protocol helper module such as ftp,
       sip, amanda, etc. A packet will match if it was accepted by the
       named helper module. You can also append "-" and a port number to
       the helper module name (e.g., ftp-21) to specify the port number
       that the original connection was made on.
