Hello
I am working on a school project whose goal is to implement a traffic mirroring
function inside bridge kernel module.
I implemented the function that lets:
- select the mirrored interface(s)
- select ingress, egress or both traffic to be mirrored
- select the output interface(s)
Examples:
a)
brctl mirror br0 eth0 ingress
brclt mirror br0 eth1 destination
All incoming traffic on eth0 will be mirrored on eth1.
b)
brctl mirror br0 eth0 egress
brclt mirror br0 eth1 destination
All outgoing traffic from eth0 will be mirrored on eth1.
c)
brctl mirror br0 eth0 both
brclt mirror br0 eth1 destination
All incoming and outgoing traffic coming on or from eth0 will be mirrored on
eth1.
Following is the patch against kernel v3.12.
I also implemented the userspace counterpart, I'll send the patch in another
mail.
Thank you for giving some feedback on the code and about its possible commit
into kernel main tree.
