Interface group ID in flow tables?

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

 



Right now flow tables use a set of devices to select the table structure.

It Would Be Nice™ to be able to specify at least one group ID(s) either as a replacement for devices= or in addition to it, that would select the candidate devices.

With a group id selector dynamic interfaces (ppp, ppoe, or the *.staN interfaces created by hostapd on a 4addr segment) can come and go without having to reload or update the set of active rules.

The structure of the running table doesn't change since each active entry is still interface-to-interface, but the table building logic in the accept stanza would include the group number check when needed.
