This is native (tc filter add dev _eth0_). I use it to limit the amount
of traffic sent by my natively connected box to 6to4 addresses, which
are encapsulated into IPv4 on _another_ box (the 6to4 relay) in the same
ASN. And thus don't appear as IPv6 in my edge stats which is all I care
about :-)

You can match arbitrary things with u32 if you know the offsets. tc
understands a few offsets by itself (see "match ip6 dst" and "match ip6
protocol"), but the more sophisticated things need to be done by hand.
