Hello,
Description:
There is bridge interface is created on the host with two ports. An
IP packet with Router Alert option is coming on one of bridge port, but is
not forwarded to another bridge port. Other IP packets (without this IP
option or, perhaps, without any IP option) are successfully forwarded by
the bridge.
How-To-Repeat:
Bridge interface is created, and two (or more) ports are added to
this bridge. After that IP packet with Router Alert option is coming on one
of the ports of the bridge (in my case I use RSVP Path message for test as
far as this kind of message contains Router Alert option in an IP header).
This message is not forwarded to outgoing bridge port, but dropped
somewhere inside host. Other IP traffic (without Router Alert option) is
forwarded successfully at the same time. Packets with Router Alert option
are being captured on ingress port and on bridge interface, but are not
present on egress port.
Thanks.
