Subject: queuing to userspace for the bridge family, using nftables
Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2014 09:00:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5438D59C.1030706@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
We are currently working on a project which may need the use of nftables
to queue AF_BRIDGE packets to the userspace and back. Apparently this is
already supported in the nftables code itself, but not in the bridge
netfilter code (the corresponding nf_afinfo is missing, at least).
I would like to know if there are plans to support this? If yes, in what
timeframe? If no, would you be interested if we were to submit a patch
to that effect?
Also, a. what should be included in the payload send to userspace?
(starting from the 802.3 LLC/protocol header, or also including up to
the MAC addresses ?) b. alternatively, shouldn't the dest MAC address be
added to the netlink attributes sent to userspace?
regards
stephane bryant
