But it's the same thing: packages are sent through the blocking interface. Anyway, I am worried that something is missing when I merged the code. Could you give me more information about the patch? If it's possible, please send me your patch for 2.6.19? Thank you very much. At the same time, I am looking for the relationship between blocking interface and the forwarding table from the stp source code. No luck until now. Any hint?
