Hi, Joost Bekkers filled in 2000 a PR ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/23771 ) that adds compile options to the kernel for bridge(4). It helps to not brigde no-IP packets. - Is the idea useful? ( adding a kernel compile option) - Is the way the patch is coded ok? - Should the patch be updated against -CURRENT or -STABLE code? If the answer is yes three times I will take a deeper look (and perhaps add BRIDGE_ALLOW_IPX, BRIDGE_ALLOW_<protocol>) and update the patch against the actual source. Another idea is to create a set of sysctl to handle different protocols like net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw_<protocol>. Then a section for checking the protocol of packets should be added. Whom I may ask for guidance? Thanks Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
