+The behavior of tc filters remains the same. However a new tc action,
+skbedit, has been added. Assuming you wanted to route all traffic to a
+specific host, for example 192.168.0.3, though a specific queue you could use
+this action and establish a filter such as:
+
+tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 1 u32 \
+ match ip dst 192.168.0.3 \
+ action skbedit queue_mapping 3
