hi list!
i'm trying to find a convenient way to build a redundant filtering
bridge under linux
i looked at carp project, but carp doesn't support bridge
now i thing the most appropriate way is using stp or rstp
it seems that 2.6 kernel supports stp but what about rstp?
I read some docs about stp, but they are rather outdated (2001 and
kernel 2.2)
there are several problems indeed:
* rstp support
* fw state sync
* fw rules sync
did some of you resolve these problems?
any help appreciated, i'm rather confused between rstp, stp, ct_sync,
conntrackd ...
ps: next step will be trafic shaping / load balancing implementation
within this setup, again, any help appreciated!
