[Bridge] bridge+filter+failover+rules&state sync+traffic shaping
I am working on the same project. Any help is highly appreciated.

I read some docs about stp, but they are rather outdated (2001 and kernel 2.2) there are several problems indeed: * rstp support * fw state sync * fw rules sync did some of you resolve these problems? any help appreciated, i'm rather confused between rstp, stp, ct_sync, conntrackd ... ps: next step will be trafic shaping / load balancing implementation within this setup, again, any help appreciated! _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@lists.osdl.org https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge

There is a student working on RSTP as a Google Summer of Code project.
