[net-next PATCH v2 0/3] Broadcast/Multicast rate limit via Ethtool Coalesce

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A system/cpu can be loaded by a hacker with flooding of broadcast or
multicast packets, to prevent this some Ethernet controllers like CPSW
provide a mechanism to limit the broadcast/multicast packet rate via
hardware limiters. This patch series enables this feature via
Ethtool Coalesce.

    feature
