Some programs require ability to accept packets destined to certain MAC addresses (in addition to their own). Example Jerome Ettienes vrrpd (http://w3.arobas.net/~jetienne/vrrpd/) The trick is to add

This is a very specialized requirement, so specialized that it should not be added as general-purpose requirement for drivers or the network stack. This capability was supported as a special case for

The common way of handling this is unsolicited ARP. Not very common. I mentioned the 21*4* explicitly because few other common chips implement this feature. The Digital design implemented it because

unsolicited ARPs on failover are good. You send the arp with one of the allocated MAC addresses as the source. The hosts sending data use that MAC address as the dst MAC. Did i miss something or how

I disagree: it's a hack usable by the very few people that need it. Defining an API would add little-used complexity. This is good example of why an API is a bad idea: there is no general case. The T

You can do it with arptables (still not sure how) or with arprules+iparp: ip arp add table output from 1.2.3.4 llsrc 00:00:5E:00:01:10 http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#iparp But this is not enough for VRRP. F

yes, that is what I mean I hope there will be support for altering any bit in the skb->head - skb->end area, even by using negative offsets based on skb->nh.raw - this is needed for eth header manip

IMO, using skb->nh.raw as basis is preferred. By this way the filters can be used from different places in the net stack. Yes, changing skb len is problematic mostly for TCP. As for L and V: I assum

Still, SIOCDEVPRIVATE should _not_, in my opinion, be used for anything but hacks. For example, we should stop using it for configuring ethernet bridges: net/bridge/br_device.c: if (cmd != SIOCDEVPRI
