I, i'm an italian student. I'm doing some research in wireless mesh network for my thesis. I have developed an user space layer-2 routing protcol like hwmp protocol, in 802.11s standard. I'm doing some semplification in my implmetation. I'm working with madwifi-ng driver. I had my "forwarding" table in user space and I need to porting it somewhere in the linux bridge... I create a WDS interface (VAP) for every neighbour I discover and I put the virtual interfaces in a bridge, with spanning tree disabled. I nedd to bridge the input frames to a specific output interface of the bridge based on destination address. So I need the bridge work as a controlled switch, not as a bridge. Do you have a suggestion about what "tool" I can use? Do you think I can do that with ebtables? Or I nedd to add some ioctl in linux bridge code? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
