I have thought about implementing this by adding a "bridge group" virtual interface to HARP. Multiple PVCs would attach to each bridge group, and the interface would talk to ether_input() and ether_output(). There would be special access lists for MAC and IP addresses. Unfortunately, this is just another fun project, and it may be a while before I have time to implement it. If you like the idea, get TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol 2. It is an excellent reference! It is almost a religious experience - read it just once, and you will be on fire to start coding :-) > I Belive FreeBSD and the ForeRunner would make a gret solution for > this kind of set up which Verison will be using for DSL here in Hawaii > and abroad. Agreed. Adding bridged encapsulation would instantly make FreeBSD a great solution for all the people that need to terminate bridged PVCs.
