| Very funky action. I do plan to add to a few more things to it |
| This is the basic stuff. Idea borrowed from the way ethernet switches |
| mirror and redirect packets. |
| |
| Usage: |
| |
| mirred <DIRECTION> <ACTION> [index INDEX] <dev DEVICENAME> |
| where: |
| DIRECTION := <ingress | egress> |
| ACTION := <mirror | redirect> |
| INDEX is the specific policy instance id |
| DEVICENAME is the devicename |
| |
| |
| Mirroring essentially takes a copy of the packet whereas redirecting |
| steals the packet and redirects to specified destination. |
| |
| Some examples: |
| Host A is hooked up to us on eth0 |
| |
| tc qdisc add dev lo ingress |
| # redirect all packets arriving on ingress of lo to eth0 |
| tc filter add dev lo parent ffff: protocol ip prio 10 u32 \ |
| match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 action mirred egress redirect dev eth0 |
| |
| On host A start a tcpdump on interface connecting to us. |
| |
| on our host ping -c 2 127.0.0.1 |
| |
| Ping would fail sinc all packets are heading out eth0 |
| tcpudmp on host A would show them |
| |
| if you substitute the redirect with mirror above as in: |
| tc filter add dev lo parent ffff: protocol ip prio 10 u32 \ |
| match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 action mirred egress mirror dev eth0 |
| |
| Then you should see the packets on both host A and the local |
| stack (i.e ping would work). |
| |
| Even more funky example: |
| |
| # |
| #allow 1 out 10 packets to randomly make it to the |
| # host A (Randomness uses the netrand generator) |
| # |
| tc filter add dev lo parent ffff: protocol ip prio 10 u32 \ |
| match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \ |
| action drop random determ ok 10\ |
| action mirred egress mirror dev eth0 |
| |
| ------ |
| Example 2: |
| # for packets coming from 10.0.0.9: |
| #Redirect packets on egress (to ISP A) if you exceed a certain rate |
| # to eth1 (to ISP B) if you exceed a certain rate |
| # |
| |
| tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle 1:0 root prio |
| |
| tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 6 u32 \ |
| match ip src 10.0.0.9/32 flowid 1:16 \ |
| action police rate 100kbit burst 90k ok \ |
| action mirred egress mirror dev eth1 |

| A more interesting example is when you mirror flows to a dummy device |
| so you could tcpdump them (dummy by defaults drops all devices it sees). |
| This is a very useful debug feature. |
