Bridging wired to STA interfaces.

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

 



We have some interest in being able to bridge wired systems to
(virtual) STA interfaces, primarily for using third-party
traffic generation tools over virtual stations.

I was thinking of writing a sta-bridge module that mapped
incoming packets on a wired interface to a STA with MAC
that matched the source MAC of the packet.  All packets
received on the STA would be forwarded un-modified out
the wired port.

I think this would allow someone to create a STA interface
with MAC matching a PC connected to the wired port and effectively
have it be a transparent bridge between STA and PC.

Has anyone attempted something like this before?

Any interest in having this feature in the upstream kernel?

Thanks,
Ben
