You should either: - Complete your hardware "accelerated" vlan implementation - do not use it at all, and make sure you can have 1504 MTU sizes, and make sure the hardware doesn't do funky stuff with the tag in the frame. Hardware acceleration means the tag gets stripped and you get a tagless frame in userspace with tcpdump, on both the ethX device as well as the ethX.Y device. (And on outgoing it will be added.) If you use pure software, the tag is still visible on at least the ethX device. I am not sure if hardware acceleration actually accelerates anything. I've yet to see any benchmarks that proofs that acceleration actually accelerates anything. -- begin LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.txt.vbs I am a signature virus.
