Re: Filtering PPP traffic

[Francis GASCHET <fg@numlog.fr>]

Hello,

The bridge we use is the kernel patch provided by 
http://bridge.sourceforge.net
On the card side, we use Ethernet over ATM bridging (RFC 1483/2684 
kernel module). It emulates an "Ethernet like" device : nas0.
The pppOE daemon sits in the VM where it reads and writes ppp frames on 
a virtual eth device created with TAP (http://Vtun.sourceforge.net).
The official address is carried by this virtual eth device.
The bridge forwards pppOE packets between the nas0 and the tap0 devices.
The goal is to use a bridged firewall. That means : a FireWall which is 
not visible from the external network.

The problem is to be able to filter the pppOE packets that flow across 
the bridge.

Thanks for any help.
