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.

In order to ensure no backward/forward compatiablity problems,
make sure that all kernel headers used come from the local copy.

This action could be used before redirecting packets to a shared tunnel
device, or when redirecting packets arriving from a such a device.
The 'unset' action is optional. It is used to explicitly unset the
metadata created by the tunnel device during decap. If not used, the
metadata will be released automatically by the kernel.
The 'set' operation, will set the metadata with the specified values for
the encap.
For example, the following flower filter will forward all ICMP packets
destined to 11.11.11.2 through the shared vxlan device 'vxlan0'. Before
redirecting, a metadata for the vxlan tunnel is created using the
tunnel_key action and it's arguments:
$ tc filter add dev net0 protocol ip parent ffff: \
flower \
ip_proto 1 \
dst_ip 11.11.11.2 \
action tunnel_key set \
src_ip 11.11.0.1 \
dst_ip 11.11.0.2 \
id 11 \
action mirred egress redirect dev vxlan0
