Hi, I noticed that there seem to be 2 ways of doing the same thing, which is performing QoS classification. The skbedit priority offload action goes through FLOW_ACTION_PRIORITY, and hw_tc goes through tc_classid_to_hwtc. It appears that drivers are using one or the other method mostly at random. Also, there appears to be no way of doing the other thing: matching on a certain traffic class with flower (e.g. installing a traffic class policer). How would that be done? Thanks, -Vladimir
