Is there any component of the routing stack that it skips through since it doesnt traverse interfaces? On the backhaul side of things traffic just flows without any policy or anything, I have INPUT chain rules and things for the site LAN So I dont think there is much that would happen to miss. I dont know though.
Im going to have these all turned into BMUs so I dont know what happens there either, have to make sure powercode isnt dicking with traffic On Tue, Feb 16, 2021 at 11:10 AM Josh Luthman <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> wrote: > It's packet processing.
