Hi, I spent times to figure out the packet flow with ng_ether, like this:
upper layer
|
^
[ether_demux]
^
|
+---<---[ng_ether_rcvdata]--<-- 'upper' --<--,
^ \
<--[bdg_forward]--<--+ ng_tee
| /
+--->---[ng_ether_input]---->-- 'lower' -->--`
^
[ether_input]
^
|
device
Why the [ng_ether_rcvdata] won't check if packets should travel to
the [bdg_forward] when they are bridged packets?
i.e. Should the packet flow be changed to this one?
upper layer

[ether_demux]

<--[bdg_forward]--<--+

+---<---[ng_ether_rcvdata]--<-- 'upper' --<--,
^ \

+--->---[ng_ether_input]---->-- 'lower' -->--`

[ether_input]
