    <para>Entries in this file cause packets to be marked as a means of
    classifying them for traffic control or policy routing.</para>

    <important>
      <para>Unlike rules in the <ulink
      url="shorewall-rules.html">shorewall-rules</ulink>(5) file, evaluation
      of rules in this file will continue after a match. So the final mark for
      each packet will be the one assigned by the LAST tcrule that
      matches.</para>

              the current mark value to produce a new mark value. If preceded
              by an ampersand ("&amp;"), will be logically ANDed with the
              current mark value to produce a new mark value.</para>

              <para>Both "|" and "&amp;" require Extended MARK Target support
              in your kernel and iptables; neither may be used with connection
              marks (see below).</para>

              <para>May optionally be followed by <emphasis

              HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, only high mark values may be assigned
              there. Packet marking rules for traffic shaping of packets
              originating on the firewall must be coded in the POSTROUTING
              chain (see below).</para>

              <para>If HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, then you may also specify a value
              in the range 0x0100-0xFF00 with the low-order byte being zero.
              Such values may only be used in the PREROUTING chain (value
              followed by <emphasis role="bold">:P</emphasis> or you have set
              MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=No in <ulink

              HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, non-zero mark values less that 256 are not
              permitted. Shorewall prohibits non-zero mark values less that
              256 in the OUTPUT chain when HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes. While earlier
              versions allow such values in the OUTPUT chain, it is strongly
              recommended that with HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, you use the

              <para><emphasis role="bold">SAME</emphasis> Some websites run
              applications that require multiple connections from a client
              browser. Where multiple 'balanced' providers are configured,
              this can lead to problems when some of the connections are
              routed through one provider and some through another. The SAME
              target allows you to work around that problem. SAME may be used
              in the PREROUTING and OUTPUT chains. When used in PREROUTING, it
              causes matching connections from an individual local system to
              all use the same provider. For example: <programlisting>#MARK/            SOURCE         DEST         PROTO      DEST
#CLASSIFY                                                PORT(S)
SAME:P            192.168.1.0/24 0.0.0.0/0    tcp        80,443</programlisting>
              If a host in 192.168.1.0/24 attempts a connection on TCP port 80
              or 443 and it has sent a packet on either of those ports in the
              last five minutes then the new connection will use the same
              provider as the connection over which that last packet was
              sent.</para>

              <para>When used in the OUTPUT chain, it causes all matching
              connections to an individual remote system to all use the same
              provider. For example:<programlisting>#MARK/            SOURCE         DEST         PROTO      DEST
#CLASSIFY                                                PORT(S)
SAME              $FW            0.0.0.0/0    tcp        80,443</programlisting>
              If the firewall attempts a connection on TCP port 80 or 443 and
              it has sent a packet on either of those ports in the last five
              minutes to the same remote system then the new connection will
              use the same provider as the connection over which that last
              packet was sent.</para>

            <listitem>
              <para><emphasis role="bold">IPMARK</emphasis> ‒ Assigns a mark
              to each matching packet based on the either the source or
              destination IP address. By default, it assigns a mark value
              equal to the low-order 8 bits of the source address. Default
              values are:</para>

              <simplelist>
                <member>src</member>

                <member><emphasis>mask1</emphasis> = 0xFF</member>

                <member><emphasis>mask2</emphasis> = 0x00</member>

                <member><emphasis>shift</emphasis> = 0</member>
              </simplelist>

              <para>'src' and 'dst' specify whether the mark is to be based on
              the source or destination address respectively. The selected
              address is first shifted to the right by
              <emphasis>shift</emphasis> bits. The result is then LANDed with
              <emphasis>mask1</emphasis> then LORed with
              <emphasis>ma<emphasis>s</emphasis>k2</emphasis>.</para>

              <para>In a sense, the IPMARK target is more like an IPCLASSIFY
              target in that the mark value is later interpreted as a class
              ID. A packet mark is 32 bits wide; so is a class ID. The
              &lt;major&gt; class occupies the high-order 16 bits and the
              &lt;minor&gt; class occupies the low-order 16 bits. So the class
              ID 1:4ff (remember that class IDs are always in hex) is
              equivalent to a mark value of 0x104ff. Remember that Shorewall
              uses the interface number as the &lt;major&gt; number where the
              first interface in tcdevices has &lt;major&gt; number 1, the
              second has &lt;major&gt; number 2, and so on.</para>

              <para>The IPMARK target assigns a mark to each matching packet
              based on the either the source or destination IP address. By
              default, it assigns a mark value equal to the low-order 8 bits
              of the source address. The syntax is as follows:</para>

              <blockquote>
                <para><option>IPMARK</option>[([{<option>src</option>|<option>dst</option>}][,[<replaceable>mask1</replaceable>][,[<replaceable>mask2</replaceable>][,[<replaceable>shift</replaceable>]]]])]</para>
              </blockquote>

              <para>Default values are:</para>

              <simplelist>
                <member><option>src</option></member>

                <member><replaceable>mask1</replaceable> = 0xFF</member>

                <member><replaceable>mask2</replaceable> = 0x00</member>

                <member><replaceable>shift</replaceable> = 0</member>
              </simplelist>

              <para><option>src</option> and <option>dst</option> specify
              whether the mark is to be based on the source or destination
              address respectively. The selected address is first shifted
              right by <replaceable>shift</replaceable>, then LANDed with
              <replaceable>mask1</replaceable> and then LORed with
              <replaceable>mask2</replaceable>. The
              <replaceable>shift</replaceable> argument is intended to be used
              primarily with IPv6 addresses.</para>

              <para>Example:</para>

              <blockquote>
                <para>IPMARK(src,0xff,0x10100)</para>

                <simplelist>
                  <member>Suppose that the source IP address is 192.168.4.3 =
                  0xc0a80403; then</member>

                  <member>0x03 LOR 0x0x10100 = 0x10103 or class ID
                  1:103</member>
                </simplelist>
              </blockquote>

              <para>It is important to realize that, while class IDs are
              composed of a <replaceable>major</replaceable> and a
              <replaceable>minor</replaceable> value, the set of values must
              be unique. That is, the same numeric value cannot be used as
              both a <replaceable>major</replaceable> and a
              <replaceable>minor</replaceable> number for the same interface
              unless class nesting occurs (which is not currently possible
              with Shorewall). You should keep this in mind when deciding how
              to map IP addresses to class IDs.</para>

              <para>For example, suppose that your internal network is
              192.168.1.0/29 (host IP addresses 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.6).
              Your first notion might be to use IPMARK(src,0xFF,0x10000) so as
              to produce class IDs 1:1 through 1:6. But 1:1 is an invalid
              class ID since the <replaceable>major</replaceable> and
              <replaceable>minor</replaceable> classes are equal. So you might
              chose instent to use IPMARK(src,0xFF,0x10100) as in the example
              above so that all of your <replaceable>minor</replaceable>
              classes will have a value &gt; 256.</para>
