NAME         top

       matchall - traffic control filter that matches every packet

SYNOPSIS         top

       tc filter ... matchall [ skip_sw | skip_hw  ] [ action
               ACTION_SPEC ] [ classid CLASSID ]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The matchall filter allows one to classify every packet that
       flows on the port and run a action on it.

OPTIONS         top

       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.

       skip_sw
              Do not process filter by software. If hardware has no
              offload support for this filter, or TC offload is not
              enabled for the interface, operation will fail.

       skip_hw
              Do not process filter by hardware.

EXAMPLES         top

       To create ingress mirroring from port eth1 to port eth2:

              tc qdisc  add dev eth1 handle ffff: clsact
              tc filter add dev eth1 ingress                \
                      matchall skip_sw                      \
                      action mirred egress mirror           \
                      dev eth2

       The first command creates a clsact qdisc with handle ffff: on
       device eth1 where the second command attaches a matchall filters
       on it that mirrors the packets to device eth2 for ingress.

       To create egress mirroring from port eth1 to port eth2:

              tc qdisc add dev eth1 handle ffff: clsact
              tc filter add dev eth1 egress                  \
                      matchall skip_sw                       \
                      action mirred egress mirror            \
                      dev eth2

       The first command creates a clsact qdisc with handle ffff: on
       device eth1 where the second command attaches a matchall filters
       on it that mirrors the packets to device eth2 for egress.

       To sample one of every 100 packets flowing into interface eth0 to
       psample group 12:

              tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
              tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: matchall \
                   action sample rate 100 group 12
