Hello! I have a question about the bridge patch bridge-nf-0.0.7-against-2.4.19.diff.
I am using RH 8.0,but with the linux-2.4.20 kernel. I applied the patch and yippie skip, all was good with the world. Using brctl I was able to bring up the machine in a bridge fashion. I have set up iptables to basically do no denial rules, but instead am QUEUEing packets to a userspace queue. This queue is designed to mangle packets between 2 machines with the queue installed. It mangles the TCP/UDP header and payload (so the ether and ip is ok) in a way that the other side know how to de-mangle. In testing, I basically have a data pumper and a listener/absorber sending a few meg on the 100BaseT connection. The configuration where I have 2 normal (non-bridge) machines connected works great, hostA mangling packets sent to hostB (and hostB demangles), but I have a serious problem when bridging with the above patch is used (although I have no firewall denials, i need to set up QUEUE rules on specific interfaces). My thruput is destroyed, in what appears to be a constant re-transmission of a packet after about 20 or so packets being delivered. I guess my first question: is there anything in the patch that would be put off by the fact that I mangle the TCP/UDP portion of the header? If not, are there thought on where I could start examining this problem? -Scott __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
