hi there!
can anybody here tell me how can i send and receive ethernet packets
directly on layer 2 under linux?
i need that for the following project: one linux machine, two ethernet
nics. we want to some kind of bridging function between the two nics with
the additional features of controlling bandwidht, delay, error-rate and so
on. this should make up something like a link-simulator: you could for
example simulate the behaviour of a satelite-link.
i'm afraid, the kernel bridging option wouldn't help very much, because i
cannot manipulate the buffers (or at least i don't know how to), so i
thought about implementig a program which does the bridging by itself.
are there any calls to get the ethernet-frames or do i have to hack around
in the kernel?
any other suggsetions?
help would be greatly appreciated!
