Subject: [PATCH v5 04/10] arp/ndp: respond with true MAC address of LAN local remote hosts
Date: Fri,  5 Sep 2025 22:11:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250906021154.2760611-5-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250906021154.2760611-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>

When we receive an ARP request or NDP neigbor solicitation over
the tap interface for a host on the local network segment attached
to the template interface, we respond with that host's real MAC
address.

Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com>

---
v3: - Added helper function to find out if a remote ip address is subject
      to NAT. This filters out local host addresses which should be
      presented with the passt/pasta local MAC address 9a:55:9a:55:9a:55 even
      though it is on the local segment.
    - Adapted to the change in nl_mac_get() function, so that we now consider
      only the template interface when checking the ARP/NDP table.
v4: - Moved NAT check into the function nat_outbound() to obtain more
      precise criteria for when NAT is used. We may in theory
      have NAT even if original and translated addresses are equal, and
      we want to catch this case.
    - I chose to keep the wrapper funtion inany_nat(), but moved it to
      fwd.h/fwd.c and renamed it to fwd_inany_nat().
v5: - Simplified criteria for when we do ARP/NDP lookup. Now, we
      just try with the potentially translated address after an
      attempted NAT check.
    - Using the new ARP/NDP cache table instead of using netlink
      directly.
