The columns in the file are as follows.

BAND - {1|2|3}

Classifies matching traffic as High Priority (1), Medium Priority (2) or Low Priority (3). For those interfaces listed in m[blue]shorewall-tcinterfacesm[]

[2]

(5), Priority 2 traffic will be deferred so long and there is Priority 1 traffic queued and Priority 3 traffic will be deferred so long as there is Priority 1 or Priority 2 traffic to send.

PROTO - protocol[,...]

Optional. The name or number of an IPv4 protocol.

Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.12, this column can accept a comma-separated list of protocols.

PORT(S) - port [,...]

Optional. May only be given if the the PROTO is TCP (6), UDP (17), DCCP (33), SCTP (132) or UDPLITE (136). A list of one or more port numbers or service names from /etc/services. Port ranges of the form lowport:highport may also be included.

ADDRESS - [address]

Optional. The IP or MAC address that the traffic originated from. MAC addresses must be given in Shorewall format. If this column contains an address, then the PROTO, PORT(S) and INTERFACE column must be empty ("-").

INTERFACE - [interface]

Optional. The logical name of an interface that traffic arrives from. If given, the PROTO, PORT(S) and ADDRESS columns must be empty ("-").

Note

INTERFACE classification of packets occurs before classification by PROTO/PORT(S)/ADDRESS. So it is highly recommended to place entries that specify INTERFACE at the top of the file so that the rule about last entry matches is preserved.

HELPER - [helper]

Optional. Names a Netfilter protocol helper module such as ftp, sip, amanda, etc. A packet will match if it was accepted by the named helper module. You can also append "-" and a port number to the helper module name (e.g., ftp-21) to specify the port number that the original connection was made on.
