[Ebtables-devel] WDS switching

[Ivan M. <muc...@gm...>]

I, i'm an italian student.
I'm doing some research in wireless mesh network for my thesis.
I have developed an user space layer-2 routing protcol like hwmp protocol,
in 802.11s standard.
I'm doing some semplification in my implmetation. I'm working with
madwifi-ng driver.
I had my "forwarding" table in user space and I need to porting it somewhere
in the linux bridge...
I create a WDS interface (VAP) for every neighbour I discover and I put the
virtual interfaces in a bridge, with spanning tree disabled.

I nedd to bridge the input frames to a specific output interface of the
bridge based on destination address. So I need the bridge work as a
controlled switch, not as a bridge.

Do you have a suggestion about what "tool" I can use? Do you think I can do
that with ebtables? Or I nedd to add some ioctl in linux bridge code?
