+What: frame diverter
|
|
|
+When: November 2006
|
|
|
+Why: The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is
|
|
|
+ broken. It does not correctly handle many things:
|
|
|
+ - IPV6
|
|
|
+ - non-linear skb's
|
|
|
+ - network device RCU on removal
|
|
|
+ - input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors
|
|
|
+ It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled.
|
|
|
+ It is not clear if anyone is still using it.
