IPv6 QoS and Traffic Shaping

Thank you for the quick response.

I've already read about tc filters and 6to4, but I don't use IPv6
tunnels. Fortunately I have native IPv6 to the world but I don't know
how to filter it. That's the reason why I need some help. I suppose that
can be made with u32 match as well, but I thought there was a simpler
way to do it.
