These two examples swap mac instead of IP address. And as an effect with the given topology, the egress package from MachineA-eth1 has dst mac of MachineB-eth0 and src mac of MachineA-eth0, dst IP of MachineA and src IP of MachineB. Assume that due to the dst mac, the package finally delivered back to MachineB, but the dst IP does not match the IP in MachineB. I have no idea in which kind of topology the package could be consumed. Another question, after swap mac, shouldn't we re-calculate the l2 csum? or if I modify that field like src/dst IP/Port, how can I re-calculate these csum? Does BPF_FUNC_csum_diff helper function work for this? Thanks Forrest -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
