Subject: [PATCH] net:ipv4: Packet is not forwarded when ingress interface is not configured with bc_forwarding
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2021 12:52:23 +1300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210228235224.30445-1-henry.shen@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (raw)
Allow an IPv4 packet with a destination address of broadcast to be forwarded
if the ingress interface is not configured with bc_forwarding but the egress
interface is. This is inline with Cisco's implementation of directed
broadcast.
