Hello: I'm new to this mailing list and a novice when is comes to Linux network programming. I have developed an application (ethermirror) which acts like a bridge in that it will transmit all frames received from one interface onto another interface (this includes transmitting onto the same interface on which the frames were received.) We use ethermirror to help test our Ethernet MAC silicon which we develop. I wrote the application using BSD sockets and while its functional, I need it to be able to handle higher traffic loads.
I feel the bridging code in the 2.4 linux kernel would be a good alternative to my simplistic application. However, I would rather re-write my application to use the kernel space bridging code in Linux rather than use the existing bridging tools (brctl, etc.) I'm looking for documentation on how to use the bridging code in the kernel and docs for the bridge-utils-devel-0.9.5-1.i386.rpm package. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Any advice would be appreciated.
