It looks like the frame gets artificially enlarged by something in between my call to send and the receiver, by 14 bytes (an ethernet header size). The bytes 'it' uses to pad are all the same, but always different. If I set the MTU to the correct size (that is, the ethernet *payload* size), then

Ok. I've found a clue. It's in the MTU size. If you enlarge the specified MTU size in my test code by 14 (fourteen - the size of an Ethernet header), then the frames go through unhindered. It looks like someone interpreted 'MTU' to mean: 'size of the Ethernet frame' instead of 'size of the

The code above formulates, sends and (in a second executable) receives ethernet frames. The network namespaces are set up to enable this. The ethernet frames are unusual for two reasons: they are long (2156 MTU), and they are typed as non-IP (or ARP). Also, they don't use the MAC addresses that

The attached tar.gz contains C-files, a Makefile, and a test shell script. It must be made (using 'make'), and run as root. This code works on Ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.4.0-128-generic (and prints 'success!') but does not work on 4.4.0-130-generic or 4.4.0-131-generic. ** Attachment added: "Tar.gz

I have more information on this issue. It turns out that I do two things that are unusual: I set the MTU of the ethernet device to 2156. Then I send a non-IP ethernet type packet with a length of 2170 bytes (2156 + 14 bytes ethernet header) using raw sockets. The raw socket receiving it, gets a

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. As diagnostic procedures, I can suggest: You could try rebooting, hitting the key to get the grub menu (Shift, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/16042/how-to-get-to-the-grub-menu- at-boot-time) and
