276 | What: frame diverter | ||
277 | When: November 2006 | ||
278 | Why: The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is | ||
279 | broken. It does not correctly handle many things: | ||
280 | - IPV6 | ||
281 | - non-linear skb's | ||
282 | - network device RCU on removal | ||
283 | - input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors | ||
284 | It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled. | ||
285 | It is not clear if anyone is still using it. | ||
