dear all: i have a x86 PC and i use it as a router the kernel is 2.6.38 there are two NICs: eth0 and eth1 i configed eth0 as 10.1.0.1 and eth1 as 11.1.0.1 Linux will route between these two cards and it worked ok in the old days but recently, i had added a new NIC as eth2 for LAN so i add a bridge br0 and config it as 10.1.0.1 then i configed eth0 and eth2 under br0 no ip on eth0 now like br0(10.1.0.1) eth1(11.1.0.1) / \ eth0 eth2 | | LAN LAN i expected that the performance will be better but unfortunately things become worse the PC lost packets now at first, i think maybe there is a loop Under br0, so i disconnected the wire on eth2 or eth0 nothing changed, packets still lost then i remove br0 config is as before its' eth0(10.1.0.1) eth1(11.1.0.1) | LAN then everthing becomes fine, no packet lost i can't explain why, any idea? thanks 2011-07-06 jiangtao.jit _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
