Simple action in tc(8)              Linux             Simple action in tc(8)

NAME         top

       simple - basic example action

SYNOPSIS         top

       tc ... action simple STRING

DESCRIPTION         top

       This is a pedagogical example rather than an actually useful action.
       Upon every access, it prints the given STRING which may be of
       arbitrary length.

OPTIONS         top

       STRING The actual string to print.

EXAMPLES         top

       The following example makes the kernel yell "Incoming ICMP!" every
       time it sees an incoming ICMP on eth0. Steps are:
       1)  Add an ingress qdisc point to eth0
       2)  Start a chain on ingress of eth0 that first matches ICMP then
           invokes the simple action to shout.
       3)  display stats and show that no packet has been seen by the action
       4)  Send one ping packet to google (expect to receive a response
           back)
       5)  grep the logs to see the logged message
       6)  display stats again and observe increment by 1
