Hiyas, sorry to bother this list, but the ebtables mailing list is kinda quiet (plus the bridge feature I think is integrated into 2.5 kernel...). I have been having a problem, and was wondering if anyone had similar experiences. I am using 2.4.20; RedHat distro + recompiled kernel with the latest ebtables + br thing patch. The sole, only, and probably ever only reason is so I can be in bridge mode and have prerouting & postrouting hooks (so if a non-ebtables approach is known, please let me know). I have a custom userspace module which I am using to mangle packets. I mangle the contents of TCP/UDP payloads, recalcing the IP and TCP/UDP headers. I basically mangle the packets between 2 bridge boxes, demangling packets on each side's 'intranet'. No firewall denial rules or nothing; just the pre/post routing. When I do not mangle (just pass in/out my userspace), it works fine. When I reconfigure in a router mode (as opposed to bridge), my mangling works fine. In bridge mode, though, with mangling, by traffic crawls to tens of bytes/second. If I turn off the mangling, it picks back up to happy 10mbit rates. The payload, when finally delivered (in my testing, I use a simple TCP push/receive pair of applications), is valid, so it does mangle/demangle OK. Does anyone have any ideas why this could be happening? Any pointers, thoughts on the netfilter/ebtables/whatever would help me greatly.
