+.TH "Route classifier in tc" 8 "21 Oct 2015" "iproute2" "Linux"
+
+.SH NAME
+route \- route traffic control filter
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.in +8
+.ti -8
+.BR tc " " filter " ... " route " [ " from
+.IR REALM " | "
+.B fromif
+.IR TAG " ] [ "
+.B to
+.IR REALM " ] [ "
+.B classid
+.IR CLASSID " ] [ "
+.B action
+.IR ACTION_SPEC " ]"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Match packets based on routing table entries. This filter centers around the
+possibility to assign a
+.B realm
+to routing table entries. For any packet to be classified by this filter, a
+routing table lookup is performed and the returned
+.B realm
+is used to decide on whether the packet is a match or not.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI action " ACTION_SPEC"
+Apply an action from the generic actions framework on matching packets.
+.TP
+.BI classid " CLASSID"
+Push matching packets into the class identified by
+.IR CLASSID .
+.TP
+.BI from " REALM"
+.TQ
+.BI fromif " TAG"
+Perform source route lookups.
+.I TAG
+is the name of an interface which must be present on the system at the time of
+.B tc
+invocation.
+.TP
+.BI to " REALM"
+Match if normal (i.e., destination) routing returns the given
+.IR REALM .
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Consider the subnet 192.168.2.0/24 being attached to eth0:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 realm 2
+.EE
+.RE
+
+The following
+.B route
+filter will then match packets from that subnet:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+tc filter add ... route from 2 classid 1:2
+.EE
+.RE
+
+and pass packets on to class 1:2.
+.SH NOTES
+Due to implementation details,
+.B 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.
