- This target is an extension of the QUEUE target. As opposed to QUEUE, it allows
- you to put a packet into any specific queue, identified by its 16-bit queue
- number.
- It can only be used with Kernel versions 2.6.14 or later, since it requires
- the
- .B
- nfnetlink_queue
- kernel support. The \fBqueue-balance\fP option was added in Linux 2.6.31,
- \fBqueue-bypass\fP in 2.6.39.
- .TP
- \fB\-\-queue\-num\fP \fIvalue\fP
- This specifies the QUEUE number to use. Valid queue numbers are 0 to 65535. The default value is 0.
- .PP
- .TP
- \fB\-\-queue\-balance\fP \fIvalue\fP\fB:\fP\fIvalue\fP
- This specifies a range of queues to use. Packets are then balanced across the given queues.
- This is useful for multicore systems: start multiple instances of the userspace program on
- queues x, x+1, .. x+n and use "\-\-queue\-balance \fIx\fP\fB:\fP\fIx+n\fP".
- Packets belonging to the same connection are put into the same nfqueue.
- .PP
- .TP
- \fB\-\-queue\-bypass\fP
- By default, if no userspace program is listening on an NFQUEUE, then all packets that are to be queued
- are dropped. When this option is used, the NFQUEUE rule is silently bypassed instead. The packet
- will move on to the next rule.
