Someone please clear this up for me. Status: - Series adds "ingress redirect/mirror" support - Positive feedback for the feature - So far no comments regarding code itself - Questions raised regarding "recursion handling" Expressed that existing mirred code (i.e egress redirect) is *already* loop-unsafe (and also, some non-tc netdev constructs, as exampled by others). Discussion then wandered to "recursion handling". Regards, Shmulik
