Subject: [PATCH] ip_gre: sendto/recvfrom NBMA address
Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 11:00:51 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4715C133.60505@iki.fi> (raw)

When GRE tunnel is in NBMA mode, this patch allows an application to use
a PF_PACKET socket to:
- send a packet to specific NBMA address with sendto()
- use recvfrom() to receive packet and check which NBMA address it came from

Signed-off-by: Timo Teras <timo.teras@iki.fi>

---

This is useful for implementing NHRP over NBMA GRE tunnels.

Sent earlier to netdev list only. Resending to wider audience with
a style issue fixed.
