Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Disable rp_filter for IPsec packets
Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2011 10:51:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1302187911-20688-1-git-send-email-msmith@cbnco.com> (raw)
The reverse path filter interferes with IPsec subnet-to-subnet tunnels,
especially when the link to the IPsec peer is on an interface other than
the one hosting the default route.
IPsec provides a much stronger anti-spoofing policy than rp_filter, so
this patch disables the rp_filter for packets with a security path.
Patch is against net-next.
