+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B gact
+action allows reclassify, dropping, passing, or accepting packets.
+At the moment there are only two algorithms. One is deterministic
+and the other uses internal kernel netrand.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI random " RANDTYPE CONTROL VAL"
+The probability of taking the action expressed in terms of 1 out of
+.I VAL
+packets.
+
+.TP
+.I CONTROL
+Indicate how
+.B tc
+should proceed if the packet matches.
+For a description of the possible
+.I CONTROL
+values, see
+.BR tc-actions (8).
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Apply a rule on ingress to drop packets from a given source address.
+.RS
+.EX
+# tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 6 u32 match ip src \
+10.0.0.9/32 flowid 1:16 action drop
+.EE
+.RE
+
+Allow 1 out 10 packets from source randomly using the netrand generator
+.RS
+.EX
+# tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 6 u32 match ip src \
+10.0.0.9/32 flowid 1:16 action drop random netrand ok 10
+.EE
+.RE
+
+Deterministically accept every second packet
