To be honest, I use the MARK target as well. I just thought the CLASSIFY
option would be easier in your situation because (I think) it saves an
extra tc rule to classify the packets.

If you're using MARK you need a rule telling tc to classify the packets
that are MARKed. I'm not sure if what you are using is correct; I use
the following (you'll need to edit appropriately):

tc filter add dev ifb0 parent 1:0 prio 0 protocol ip handle 10 fw \ 
	flowid 1:10

I'm getting out of my depth here so may be wrong, but as I understand it
'handle' is the MARK, flowid is what it should be classified as.
