libxt_NFQUEUE.man revision 4282d89a798adcf50973a22c5a17563b5e9421cb
1This target is an extension of the QUEUE target. As opposed to QUEUE, it allows 2you to put a packet into any specific queue, identified by its 16-bit queue 3number. 4It can only be used with Kernel versions 2.6.14 or later, since it requires 5the 6.B 7nfnetlink_queue 8kernel support. The \fBqueue-balance\fP option was added in Linux 2.6.31. 9.TP 10\fB\-\-queue\-num\fP \fIvalue\fP 11This specifies the QUEUE number to use. Valid queue numbers are 0 to 65535. The default value is 0. 12.PP 13.TP 14\fB\-\-queue\-balance\fP \fIvalue\fP\fB:\fP\fIvalue\fP 15This specifies a range of queues to use. Packets are then balanced across the given queues. 16This is useful for multicore systems: start multiple instances of the userspace program on 17queues x, x+1, .. x+n and use "\-\-queue\-balance \fIx\fP\fB:\fP\fIx+n\fP". 18Packets belonging to the same connection are put into the same nfqueue. 19
