Re: [squid-users] Is it possible to mark tcp_outgoing_mark (server side) with SAME MARK as incoming packet (client side)?

Yes it needs "qos_flows mark", without specifying qos_flows, its not
working. But ...

... it works only from server to client. If I CONNMARK server (to squid)
packet, I can see it appearing in log.

If I CONNMARK client (to server) packet its not showing in LOG.

So documentation is right but placement of the statement is possibly
wrong. Its not highlighted right infront. i.e qos_flows applies only for
packets from server to client(squid) NOT from client to server.

Is it possible to do reverse too? Or atleast have an acl where I can
check incoming MARK on packet? So then I can make use of tcp_outgoing_mark.

I just noticed that there was same discussion done in list previously as
well (in 2013), here is the link:
