queuing to userspace for the bridge family, using nftables

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

 



Hello,

We are currently working on a project which may need the use of nftables
to queue AF_BRIDGE packets to the userspace and back. Apparently this is
already supported in the nftables code itself, but not in the bridge
netfilter code (the corresponding nf_afinfo is missing, at least).

I would like to know if there are plans to support this? If yes, in what
timeframe? If no, would you be interested if we were to submit a patch
to that effect?
Also, a. what should be included in the payload send to userspace?
(starting from the 802.3 LLC/protocol header, or also including up to
the MAC addresses ?) b. alternatively, shouldn't the dest MAC address be
added to the netlink attributes sent to userspace?

regards
stephane bryant
