This is a problem for cls_fw: an invalid filter\ncreated with the \"old\" method can still classify some packets before it\nis destroyed by the validation logic added by Xiang.\nTherefore, insisting with repeated runs of the following script:\n\n # ip link add dev crash0 type dummy\n # ip link set dev crash0 up\n # mausezahn crash0 -c 100000 -P 10 \\\n > -A 4.3.2.1 -B 1.2.3.4 -t udp \"dp=1234\"
