I want to enable IP forwarding on an Android Lollipop device.
The idea is to forward traffic between the ethernet & WiFi networks, where the Android device is acting as a router. A USB ethernet adapter is connected to the device and I can access ethernet connected hosts and vice versa. Also, WiFi is enabled and functioning. I have enabled IP forwarding in the kernel, by doing: "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forwarding" Here is a diagram with IP settings on the device: 172.16.1.1/24[eth0]<-Android->[wlan0]172.16.2.1/24 Ethernet eth_host1 has the IP 172.16.1.2 and a static route set to access the wlan0 network: "ip route add 172.16.2.0/24 via 172.16.1.1". Wireless wifi_host1 has the IP 172.16.2.2 and a static route set to access the eth0 network: "ip route add 172.16.1.0/24 via 172.16.2.1". I had to add a route on the Android device to enable connectivity with the ethernet network, as all traffic was exiting through the default route on wlan0: "ip rule add prio 100 from all lookup 100" "ip route add table 100 172.16.1.0/24 dev eth0" However, I cannot ping eth_host1 from wifi_host1 and vice versa. What could be the problem here? -- -- unsubscribe: android-kernel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Linux Kernel Development" group.
