NAME
       route - route traffic control filter

SYNOPSIS
       tc filter ... route [ from REALM |  fromif TAG ] [  to REALM ] [
	       classid CLASSID ] [  action ACTION_SPEC ]

DESCRIPTION
       Match packets based on routing table entries. This filter centers
       around the possibility to assign a realm to routing table entries. For
       any packet to be classified by this filter, a routing table lookup is
       performed and the returned realm is used to decide on whether the
       packet is a match or not.

OPTIONS
       action ACTION_SPEC
	      Apply an action from the generic actions framework on matching
	      packets.

       classid CLASSID
	      Push matching packets into the class identified by CLASSID.

       from REALM
       fromif TAG
	      Perform source route lookups.  TAG is the name of an interface
	      which must be present on the system at the time of tc
	      invocation.

       to REALM
	      Match if normal (i.e., destination) routing returns the given
	      REALM.

EXAMPLES
       Consider the subnet 192.168.2.0/24 being attached to eth0:

	      ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 realm 2

       The following route filter will then match packets from that subnet:

	      tc filter add ... route from 2 classid 1:2

       and pass packets on to class 1:2.

NOTES
       Due to implementation details, realm values must be in a range from 0
       to 255, inclusive. Alternatively, a verbose name defined in
       /etc/iproute2/rt_realms may be given instead.
