3 Subject: [PATCH] net: resolve forwarding path from virtual netdevice and
6 This patch adds dev_fill_forward_path() which resolves the path to reach
7 the real netdevice from the IP forwarding side. This function takes as
8 input the netdevice and the destination hardware address and it walks
9 down the devices calling .ndo_fill_forward_path() for each device until
10 the real device is found.
12 For instance, assuming the following topology:
25 where eth1 and eth2 are bridge ports and eth0 provides WAN connectivity.
26 ethX is the interface in another box which is connected to the eth1
29 For packets going through IP forwarding to br0 whose destination MAC
30 address is ab:cd:ef:ab:cd:ef, dev_fill_forward_path() provides the
35 .ndo_fill_forward_path for br0 looks up at the FDB for the bridge port
36 from the destination MAC address to get the bridge port eth1.
38 This information allows to create a fast path that bypasses the classic
39 bridge and IP forwarding paths, so packets go directly from the bridge
40 port eth1 to eth0 (wan interface) and vice versa.
