The semantics of the two are very different. real_dev is in regards to stacked interfaces and input_dev is in reference to track what the last ingress interface was. So it is ambigous to have them to be the same thing. As an example, "redirecting from eth20 (which is not part of bond0) to bond0" is not the same as "packet last seen on bond0 was received on eth0 (which is part of bond0)" cheers, jamal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
