Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/2] selftests: net: add test for dst hint mechanism with directed broadcast addresses
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 16:03:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250814140309.3742-3-oscmaes92@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250814140309.3742-1-oscmaes92@gmail.com>
Add a test for ensuring that the dst hint mechanism is used for
directed broadcast addresses.
This test relies on mausezahn for sending directed broadcast packets.
Additionally, a high GRO flush timeout is set to ensure that packets
will be received as lists.
The test determines if the hint mechanism was used by checking
the in_brd statistic using lnstat.
