Blocks

The rest of the configuration data is divided into traffic control blocks. Each traffic control block begins with a block statement, followed by additional statements describing the queues, actions, and classification rules in this block.

The block statement has the following syntax:

block name role pragmas

name
is the name of the interface.
role
is either ingress or egress.
pragmas
is an optional list of space-separated pragmas

Each block contains zero or more queuing disciplines, which in turn contain zero or more classes.
