- You must have new iproute2 to use this feature.
- This adds a very simple action for demonstration purposes
- The idea is to give action authors a basic example to look at.
- All this action will do is print on the console the configured
- policy string followed by _ then packet count.
+ Say Y here to add a simple action for demonstration purposes.
+ It is meant as an example and for debugging purposes. It will
+ print a configured policy string followed by the packet count
+ to the console for every packet that passes by.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+ To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called simple.
+
+config NET_CLS_POLICE
+ bool "Traffic Policing (obsolete)"
+ depends on NET_CLS_ACT!=y
+ select NET_ESTIMATOR
+ ---help---
+ Say Y here if you want to do traffic policing, i.e. strict
+ bandwidth limiting. This option is obsoleted by the traffic
+ policer implemented as action, it stays here for compatibility
+ reasons.
+
+config NET_CLS_IND
+ bool "Incoming device classification"
+ depends on NET_CLS_U32 || NET_CLS_FW
+ ---help---
+ Say Y here to extend the u32 and fw classifier to support
+ classification based on the incoming device. This option is
+ likely to disappear in favour of the metadata ematch.
+
+config NET_ESTIMATOR
+ bool "Rate estimator"
+ ---help---
+ Say Y here to allow using rate estimators to estimate the current
+ rate-of-flow for network devices, queues, etc. This module is
+ automaticaly selected if needed but can be selected manually for
+ statstical purposes.
