to confirm: IT WORKS! (tested with 2.6.38 kernel)  :)

You can use accept_local flag and rule with pref 0:

this in itself is not enought to get it running, but with this one
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=129500124207256&w=2
(adapted for eth0/1), it looks good  and i see packets flow between eth0/1

thanks again for the pointer !

regards
Roland

Hello,
i`m searching for a while now, but i did not find a solution, so forgive when
i`m (as a user) asking for expert help here.

I want to do some network stress/burn-in and quality/reliability testing,
i.e. i want to send/receive large amounts of data trough the systems network
interfaces without the need of hogging the net or other systems.

so, that test should run "loopback", i.e. connecting eth0+1 via crossover cable
or via locally attached switch. I don`t want to use a second system for that.

testing at ip/tcp level would be favourable , but raw eth level would be also fine.

But how ?
What appears simple on a first view, seems to be difficult.... :(

All i came across is this report:
http://www.zyztematik.com/?p=10
and this description of a patch:
http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/send-to-self.txt

Does somebody know a proper way of achieving this without patching the
kernel ?
