    <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>

      <para>If you use multiple internet providers with the 'track' option, in
      /etc/shorewall/providers be sure to read the restrictions at <ulink

          masqueraded to eth0 from other interfaces can be matched in a single
          rule with several alternative SOURCE criteria. However, a connection

          <para>Mark all ICMP echo traffic with packet mark 1. Mark all peer
          to peer traffic with packet mark 4.</para>

          <para>This is a little more complex than otherwise expected. Since
          the ipp2p module is unable to determine all packets in a connection
          are P2P packets, we mark the entire connection as P2P if any of the
          packets are determined to match.</para>

          <para>We assume packet/connection mark 0 means unclassified.</para>

          <para>If a packet hasn't been classifed (packet mark is 0), copy the
          connection mark to the packet mark. If the packet mark is set, we're
          done. If the packet is P2P, set the packet mark to 4. If the packet
          mark has been set, save it to the connection mark.</para>
