Re: tc match MAC destination - nothing matches on protocol 802_3

[Doru Theodor Petrescu <pdoru.kernel@evox.ro>]

I updated my scripts to use the 'tc filter ... match ether src/dst'
syntax. it really makes reading the script easier. thanks for the tip!

however the problem persists. I changed the rule to match ANY pachet of
type 802_3 and redirect it to ifb1. but nothing arrives on ifb1.

I tried to redirect ARP pachets using 'protocol arp' filter and it works
perfectly as expected.

so at this point the problem is no longer 'how to match ethernet header'
but rather 'how to match a pachet of type 802_3'. My feeling is that
there is a bug somewhere in kernel where the 'protocol 802_3' matching
happens.


I attach part of the script I use to generate the filters and classes. I
removed everything related to HTB and IP pachets because there is no
problem there. in case the formating is lost, you can download it from
here: http://evox.ro/kernel_netdev_tc_protocol_802.3/

# the 802_3 pachet filter:

# 802:0:3 should match ANY pachet of type 802_3 and mirror it to ifb1

01:00:0c:cc:cc:cd and mirror it to ifb1

# however NOTHING is going to ifb1    try 'tcpdump -nltve -i ifb1'
# at the same time 'tcpdump -nltve -i bond1.2199 ether host

# at the same time the ARP filter works. you can mirror all ARP trafic
to IFB1 like this:
