some feedback on sqm. It's not clear to me how to mask out the
stuff in the tc filter....

Hi David,

I was looking at the sqm-scripts you recently posted at
http://patchwork.openwrt.org/patch/5078/
https://github.com/dtaht/ceropackages-3.10/tree/master/net/sqm-scripts

and noticed that the way sqm-scripts using the iptables' mark feature
makes it incompatible with other packages which also use mark, such as
the mwan3 multiwan script. Please consider updating sqm-scripts to use
a /0xff mask, like qos-scripts does (it'd conflict with qos-scripts,
but it's of little concern since since qos-scripts and sqm-scripts
shouldn't be used together anyway).

Best regards,
KP

PS: iptables mark is a 32 bits field which you can manipulate. With a
mask (much like an ip subnetmask) you can tell which bits to write.
You'd need to replace "-j MARK --set-mark 0x1" with "-j MARK
--set-mark 0x1/0xff" which will only write over the first eight bits.
In this last case it would be compatible, as e.g. mwan3 uses bits 9 -
16
