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