The sample tc action allows sampling packets matching a classifier. It
peeks randomly packets, and samples them using the psample netlink
channel. The user can specify the psample group, which the packet will be
sampled to, the sampling rate and the packet truncation (to save
kernel-user traffic).
The sampled packets contain informative metadata, for example, the input
interface and the original packet length.
The action syntax:
tc filter add [...] \
action sample rate <RATE> group <GROUP> [trunc <SIZE>]
[...]
Where:
RATE := The sampling rate which is the ratio of packets observed at the
data source to the samples generated
GROUP := the psample module sampling group
SIZE := optional truncation size
An example for a common usecase of the sample tc action: to sample ingress
traffic from interface eth1, one may use the commands:
tc qdisc add dev eth1 handle ffff: ingress
tc filter add dev eth1 parent ffff: \
matchall action sample rate 12 group 4
Where the first command adds an ingress qdisc and the second starts
sampling randomly with an average of one sampled packet per 12 packets
on dev eth1 to psample group 4.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
