Hey all, First I would like to congratulate the author of his great creation. I have found it amazing how you chose to use STP in the software, it has worked seamlessly with our existing bridge equipment. Within seconds it recognised the "root" bridge in the other building.
We currently are having some network problems across our microwave link. We have 2 seperate buildings linked by this microwave link. Both LANs are 100MBps and the link is 10MBps. In an attempt to stop excess data from flowing across the link we placed a bridge between the LAN and radio at both buildings. Unfortunetly both of these bridges are only 10MBps. So data is flying at 100MBps to the switch that each bridge is on and comes to a grinding halt and trickles through the bridge to the radio onto the other building. Because there is a high amount of traffic about twice a day the bridge "locks-up". i.e. doesnt forward packets and its CPU locks up. We have swapped the bridges and no success. On closer inspection we found that its buffer was overflowing So I was reading on the internet and found the Linux Ethernet Bridge project. I have build a box to replace the bridge that keeps on "locking up". The box has 2 LAN cards that are both 100MBps. We are hoping that this box will not crash and not drop packets because its buffer overflows. Can anyone confirm that the Linux box will hold the data and eventually get it across the link?
