You want this : http://ebtables.sf.net
Short version - use a 2.6 kernel and when you configure Linux Bridging (interface br0 spanning eth0 and eth1, for example), you will be able to apply rules, or simply count the number of packets matching rules / interfaces...
If you use a 2.4 kernel, you will need to patch it (see URL above)
Cheers, Gavin.
Hi Gavin,
yes, I found the ebtables site after I sent the message and am using a 2.4 kernel, so a patch will be necessary.
Do I need iptables as well as ebtables or is ebtables a 'drop-in' replacement?
Thanks for the help,
Neil
