hi list, during ip forwarding process, the kernel replace the source MAC address of the package it received with my own MAC address.. My question is: Is there any way to avoid this behavior?That is what routing does at the ip layer. You may be able to accomplish this by bridging the two ports together so that the traffic is handled at layer 2.
Indeed, have a look at : http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/bridge
