+=========================
+Network classifier cgroup
+=========================
+
+The Network classifier cgroup provides an interface to
+tag network packets with a class identifier (classid).
+
+The Traffic Controller (tc) can be used to assign
+different priorities to packets from different cgroups.
+Also, Netfilter (iptables) can use this tag to perform
+actions on such packets.
+
+Creating a net_cls cgroups instance creates a net_cls.classid file.
+This net_cls.classid value is initialized to 0.
+
+You can write hexadecimal values to net_cls.classid; the format for these
+values is 0xAAAABBBB; AAAA is the major handle number and BBBB
+is the minor handle number.
+Reading net_cls.classid yields a decimal result.
+
+Example::
+
+ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls
+ mount -t cgroup -onet_cls net_cls /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls
+ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0
+ echo 0x100001 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid
+
+- setting a 10:1 handle::
+
+ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid
+ 1048577
+
+- configuring tc::
+
+ tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 10: htb
+ tc class add dev eth0 parent 10: classid 10:1 htb rate 40mbit
+
+- creating traffic class 10:1::
+
+ tc filter add dev eth0 parent 10: protocol ip prio 10 handle 1: cgroup
+
+configuring iptables, basic example::
+
+ iptables -A OUTPUT -m cgroup ! --cgroup 0x100001 -j DROP
