Subject: [4/4] tcp: forward external source mac address through tap interface
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2025 21:11:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250607011151.3290866-5-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250607011151.3290866-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>
We forward the incoming mac address through the tap interface when
receiving incoming packets from network local hosts. Packets from
the local host are excepted from this rule, and are still forwarded
with the default passt/pasta mac address as source.
This is a part of the solution to bug #120
