285 | What: frame diverter | ||
286 | When: November 2006 | ||
287 | Why: The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is | ||
288 | broken. It does not correctly handle many things: | ||
289 | - IPV6 | ||
290 | - non-linear skb's | ||
291 | - network device RCU on removal | ||
292 | - input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors | ||
293 | It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled. | ||
294 | It is not clear if anyone is still using it. | ||
