Subject: Netfilter 2.4.21 Kernel

Message-ID: <20031224144601.61887.qmail@web60507.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
Hi,
I found this block of code in br_dev_queue_xmit() @
br_forward.c, after applying 'netfilter' patch for
2.4.21 kernel
Can someone explain what this block of code is doin?
#ifdef CONFIG_NETFILTER
if (skb->nf_bridge)
memcpy(skb->data - 16,
skb->nf_bridge->hh, 16);
#endif
1. What is 16 bytes here...? Ethernet hdr is just 14
bytes
2. Why the ethernet hdr is being overwritten with
nf_bridge->hh? what is there in nf_bridge->hh? and
when is nf_bridge being assigned this content.
3. If I remember correctly 'if' <condition> Fails for
ARP protocol and arp is untouched.
-Raj
