230 | What: frame diverter | ||
231 | When: November 2006 | ||
232 | Why: The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is | ||
233 | broken. It does not correctly handle many things: | ||
234 | - IPV6 | ||
235 | - non-linear skb's | ||
236 | - network device RCU on removal | ||
237 | - input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors | ||
238 | It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled. | ||
239 | It is not clear if anyone is still using it. | ||
