I am trying to mirror the packets that get forwarded from one interface to the another. One is an eql interface and the other is an ethernet card with a bigger pipe. The ethernet card is the primary link and I dont even want to touch those packets. I just want to mirror the packets to the eql interface as many as it can handle and I dont care if packets get lost on the eql interface. I tried the following on ip_forward_finish() in ip_forward.c (2.4.27), but nothing gets sent on the eql interface. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advanced.
{
struct net_device *altdev = dev_get_by_name("eql");
struct sk_buff *new_skb;
if(altdev != NULL) {
new_skb = skb_copy(skb,GFP_ATOMIC);
if(new_skb != NULL) {
((struct rtable*)new_skb->dst)->u.dst.dev = altdev;
ip_forward_options(new_skb);
ip_send(new_skb);
kfree_skb(new_skb);
}
}
}
ip_forward_options(skb);
return (ip_send(skb));
