	This option adds the "MARK" target and "mark" match.

	Netfilter mark matching allows you to match packets based on the

	The target allows you to create rules in the "mangle" table which alter
	the netfilter mark (nfmark) field associated with the packet.

	Prior to routing, the nfmark can influence the routing method (see

	  The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.

	  It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in

	  This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
	  which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example.  Or
	  you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
	  somebody connects to your machine via SSH.

	  You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.

	  To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
	    iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000

	  Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:

	  This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which

	  load-balancing router/server/switch. Basically, this match returns
	  true when the packet must be handled by this cluster node. Thus,
	  all nodes see all packets and this match decides which node handles
	  what packets. The work-load sharing algorithm is based on source
	  address hashing.

	  more information.
