Doh. So dumb of me. I have documented this but this skipped my attention. Thanks Staf. AFAIK, in a bridged mode, only the FORWARD table is processed. The packet does not traverse any other traditional netfilter table. This is the reason for the existence of ebtables. ebtables provides all these tables within its realm.

I thought you have to use ebtables : http://www.docum.org/stef.coene/qos/faq/cache/41.html Stef -- stef.coene@xxxxxxxxx "Using Linux as bandwidth manager" http://www.docum.org/ #lartc @ irc.oftc.net _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
