He also suggested adding a new "layer='network|link'" attribute to <forward>. I'm not convinced that item is necessary (it seems redundant), but am including it here for sake of discussion.
The current modes are:
<forward layer='network' mode='route|nat'/>
(in addition to not listing any mode, which equates to "isolated")
Here are suggested new modes:
<forward layer='link' mode='bridge-brctl|vepa|private|passthrough|bridge-macvtap'/>
On the "layer='network|link'" question, would "layer='IP|MAC'" not be clearer? Regarding the mode attribute: "mode='bridge|vepa|private|passthrough'" seems sufficient to me, bridge-brctl or bridge-macvtap can be concluded from the "dev" attribute, right? ... -- Best regards, Gerhard Stenzel, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Martin Jetter Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294
