RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Section 1.7. Net_cls
<snip>
net_cls.classid contains a single value in hexadecimal format that indicates a traffic control handle. For example, 0x1001 represents the handle conventionally written as 10:1.
</snip>

This is incorrect. 0x1001 does not represent 10:1. The value for 10:1 should be 0x100001.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

manual's identifier: doc-Resource_Management_Guide and version number: 6

Additional info:

Here's the information that Thomas Graf sent me regarding the net_cls value:

<snip>
Basically the format is:
  0xAAAABBBB
where as
AAAA is the major number in hex format
and
BBBB is the minor number in hex format

This equals to AAAA:BBBB in iproute2 format.

1:1   -> 0x00010001
22:22 -> 0x00220022
</snip>

solution does not work for you.
