Subject: [PATCH v4 0/9] Use true MAC address of LAN local remote hosts
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 23:09:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250820031005.2725591-1-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
Bug #120 asks us to use the true MAC addresses of LAN local
remote hosts, since some programs need this information.
These commits introduces this for ARP, NDP, UDP, TCP and
ICMP.
---
v3: Updated according to feedback from Stefano and David:
- Made the ARP/NDP lookup call filter out the requested address
by itself, qualified by the index if the template interface
- Moved the flow specific MAC address from struct flowside to
struct flow_common.
v4: - Updated according to feedback from David and Stefan
- Added a cache table for ARP/NDP table contents
Jon Maloy (9):
netlink: add function to extract MAC addresses from NDP/ARP table
arp/ndp: respond with true MAC address of LAN local remote hosts
flow: add MAC address of LAN local remote hosts to flow
udp: forward external source MAC address through tap interface
tcp: forward external source MAC address through tap interface
tap: change signature of function tap_push_l2h()
tcp: make tcp_rst_no_conn() respond with correct MAC address
icmp: let icmp use mac address from flowside structure
fwd: Added cache table for ARP/NDP contents
