<para>There is one exception, though. Limiting incoming traffic to a value

traffic control on the other side and if this other side has a faster
network connection than you do (the line speed between the systems is the
bottleneck, e.g. a DSL or Cable Modem connection to your provider's
router, the router itself is normally connected to a much faster
backbone). So, if you drop packets that are coming in too fast, the
underlying protocol might recognize this and slow down the connection. TCP
has a builtin mechanism for this, UDP has not (but the protocol over UDP
might recognize it , if there is any).</para>

<section id="IFB">
<title>Intermediate Frame Block (IFB) Devices</title>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.1.6, Shorewall-perl includes support for
IFBs. The principles behind an IFB is fairly simple:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>It looks like a network interface although it is never given an
IPv4 configuration.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Because it is a network interface, queuing disciplines can be
associated with an IFB.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The magic of an IFB comes in the fact that a filter may be defined
on a real network interface such that each packet that arrives on that
interface is queued for the IFB! In that way, the IFB provides a means for
shaping input traffic.</para>
<para>To use an IFB, you must have IFB support in your kernel
(configuration option CONFIG_IFB). Assuming that you have a modular
kernel, the name of the IFB module is 'ifb' and may be loaded using the
command <command>modprobe ifb</command> (if you have modprobe installed)
or <command>insmod /path/to/module/ifb</command>.</para>
<para>By default, two IFB devices (ifb0 and ifb1) are created. You can
control that using the numifbs option (e.g., <command>modprobe ifb
numifbs=1</command>).</para>
<para>To create a single IFB when Shorewall starts, place the following
two commands in <filename>/etc/shorewall/init</filename>:</para>
<programlisting><command>modprobe ifb numifbs=1
ip link set ifb0 up</command></programlisting>
<para>Entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename> have no
effect on shaping traffic through an IFB. To allow classification of such
traffic, the /etc/shorewall/tcfilters file has been added. Entries in that
file create <ulink url="http://b42.dz/notes/u32_classifier/">u32
classification rules</ulink>.</para>
<section id="tcfilters">
<title>/etc/shorewall/tcfilters</title>
<para>While this file was created to allow shaping of traffic through an
IFB, the file may be used for general traffic classification as well.
The file is similar to <ulink
url="shorewall-tcrules.html">shorewall-tcrules</ulink>(5) with the
following key exceptions:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The first match determines the classification, whereas in the
tcrules file, the last match determines the classification.</para>

<para>filters are applied to packets as they <emphasis>appear on the
wire</emphasis>. So incoming packets will not have DNAT applied yet
(the destination IP address will be the external address) and
outgoing packets will have had SNAT applied.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The last point warrants elaboration. When looking at traffic being
shaped by an IFB, there are two cases to consider:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Requests — packets being sent from remote clients to local
servers. These packets may undergo subsequent DNAT, either as a
result of entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/nat</filename> or as a
result of DNAT or REDIRECT rules.</para>
<para>Example: <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL
# PORT(S) PORT(S) DEST
DNAT net dmz:192.168.4.5 tcp 80 - 206.124.146.177</programlisting>
<para>Requests redirected by this rule will have destination IP
address 206.124.146.177 and destination port 80.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Responses — packets being sent from remote servers to local
clients. These packets may undergo subsequent DNAT as a result of
entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/nat</filename> or in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/masq</filename>. The packet's destination
IP address will be the external address specified in the
entry.</para>
<para>Example:
<filename>/etc/shorewall/masq</filename>:<programlisting>#INTERFACE SOURCE ADDRESS
eth0 192.168.1.0/24 206.124.146.179</programlisting></para>
<para>HTTP response packets corresponding to requests that fall
under that rule will have destination IP address 206.124.146.179 and
<emphasis role="bold">source</emphasis> port 80.</para>
</listitem>

configuration files, a hyphen ("-") may be used to indicate that no
value is supplied in the column.</para>
