* Set skb protocol based on contents of packet. I have observed this is necessary to get actual protocol of a packet when it is injected into an internal device e.g. by libnet in which case skb protocol will be set to ETH_ALL.I am not sure what do yo mean by ETH_ALL. I could not find it in the kernel. anyways, Can we fix libnet to set skb->protocol field correctly? The change is introducing overhead for every packet received on internal port.
It was quite a while ago since I wrote this patch and I don't recall what I meant by ETH_ALL. I now plan to drop this patch. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
