Hi All,
 
I am running the Ethernet Bridge on Linux 2.4.20 with all the latest patches. It works like a champ for normal operations.
 
However, we have a need to run the bridge under heavy loads (~150 MB+) in each direction and also . have a webserver running for configuration etc. on the bridge.
 
When I run unidirectional traffic load everything works fine and the webserver response is within permissible time delay.
 
When I run bi-directional load I start getting a flood following message:
br_netfilter:  Argh!! br_nf_post_routing: bad mac.raw pointer
This is located in br_nf_post_routing(). Also in the error case the function should return NF_DROP not NF_ACCEPT.
 
Another symptom I see is that all locally directed traffic comes to a halt while rest of the forwarding keeps working. This disables access to the webserver running on the bridge. Additionally, the system needs about 5 minutes to recover after all traffic is shutdown.
 
Has anyone seen this before?  Any pointers are welcome.
 
Thanks
Rajesh
