(You have not mentioned "ifconfig br0 up", but you must have done that if the bridge is working at all.) The delay could be due to many factors. Could be in the interfaces or their drivers, or could even be delay on the part of the host responding to ping. You could diagnose this further by taking packet captures (with tcpdump or wireshark) while you do the pings, both on the bridge and on the source and destination of the ping, and looking at the packet times in these. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
