+The following example encapsulates incoming ICMP packets on eth0 from 10.0.0.2
+into VLAN ID 123:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
+#tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: pref 11 protocol ip \\

+ u32 match ip src 10.0.0.2 flowid 1:1 \\
+ action vlan push id 123

+.RE
+
+Here is an example of the

+function: Incoming VLAN packets on eth0 are decapsulated and the classification
+process then restarted for the plain packet:
