Hello all, I would like to know if it is possible to have 2 bridge instances running - one for the internal network and the other for the external network. What I need to explain is that I need the internal bridge to go though the Linux Kernel and pass its packets to the external network bridge. I am also hopeful that the internal network bridge will not need an IP address as I am hoping to

Hi Stephen, there was a bug in bridging bonds. multicast packets needed for 802.3ad netif_carrier_ok() were dropped. attached patch works for me.

Sorry, if this question has been answered before, but I could not find out with a brief look. How can I set the MAC address for a bridge? The MAC address given for the bridge device seems to be the one it sends network packets with if the bridge device has an IP address set. Apparently the bridge starts with a zero MAC address and when the first interface is attached to it, it takes its MAC

Hi everybody. Do you know about any way to read the TCP cwnd value (congestion window) on Linux? I have read that on Linux it is not possible to enable a socket option (to read to cwnd using the program trpt). Any way to read the cwnd would be good for me. thanks Antonio

Hi, I have 2 servers which are connected to a gateway machine. The gateway and one server are running Linux 2.6.16.2, while the third machine is running 2.6.16.5. The two ethernet ports on the gateway which are connected to the servers are combined into a single ethernet bridge device. Ever since 2.6.16, I have noticed that I can no longer cross-mount the two servers' /home directories via

Replace the existing mac hash in the bridge code with the nice inline jenkins hash. This should provide better distribution across hash buckets and compiles to code that is similar in complexity.

Hi all, Can someone tell me where to find source code for RSTP for linux 2.6 kernel? Thank you in advance. -Marc.

This patch updates the network emulation packet scheduler. * name changed from delay to netem since it does more than just delay * Catalin''s merged code to do packet reordering * uses a socket queue''s directly rather than layering on qdisc(fifo) because this is used in performance tests. * adds placeholder in API for future enhancements (rate and duplicate).

Here is the proposed revision to the bridge utilities interface to the kernel. The driving force is that the existing interface can't easily be converted to 32/64 bit compat. Right now, the bridge-utils (brctl) tries to handle 32bit command on 64 bit kernel, but the code is limited to sparc and wrong. Here is what I am thinking. get version - not needed? get bridges -

Hello, i need to write a little personal patch in the bridge code. For this patch, i need to know the original src and dst mac addresses of the packet incoming to the bridge. As i work on a brouter (some packets are bridged, some are routed based on ebtable rules), packets that are routed have their mac addresses modified by the IP stack). I put a software probe in br_input.c::br_handle_frame( ),

I am battling an issue with use of bridging with xen. For some yet undetermined reason supposedly relating to stp, they assign a mac address of fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to the bridge. Was hoping someone here may be able to elaborate on that. If I enslave a bridge to an ethernet, and than restart that network interface, should the bridge operation behave the same after the ip interface is restarted?

I compiled the latest 2.6.19 kernel and tested it with two 3COM 3c905c fast ethernet interfaces which work fine with vlan 802.1q tagging, but when I have added the eth0 and eth1

I noticed that when I type brctl - it does insmod when the bridge module is not loaded. Where can I find the code (in the brctl or libbridge code) which does that? Thanks, Abhijit

Hi, Is there any particular reason why the same physical port cannot be added to multiple bridges? Is it because of STP? If I am not using STP - can I change the code to have the same physical port in 2 VLANs? Is that a safe change? Thanks, Abhijit

This is an update to iproute2 utilities including bug fixes and features related to 2.6.22 kernel. This package tries to be source compatible across releases. The same source should build on older systems, but obviously the newer kernel features won''t be available.
