Subject: [PATCH] net:ipv4: Packet is not forwarded if bc_forwarding not configured on ingress interface
Date: Mon,  1 Mar 2021 13:53:18 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210301005318.8959-2-henry.shen@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210301005318.8959-1-henry.shen@alliedtelesis.co.nz>

When an IPv4 packet with a destination address of broadcast is received
on an ingress interface, it will not be forwarded out of the egress
interface if the ingress interface is not configured with bc_forwarding 
but the egress interface is. If both the ingress and egress interfaces
are configured with bc_forwarding, the packet can be forwarded
successfully.

This patch is to be inline with Cisco's implementation that packet can be 
forwarded if ingress interface is NOT configured with bc_forwarding, 
but egress interface is.
