Hello List,

There is this issue bugging me since a long time and try to put a stop to it:

[22444423.820856] br0: received packet on tap0 with own address as source address [22444423.821068] br0: received packet on tap0 with own address as source address [22444423.844718] br0: received packet on tap0 with own address as source address [22444423.844952] br0: received packet on tap0 with own address as source address [22444423.868796] br0: received packet on tap0 with own address as source address

[22444435.110489] br0: received packet on tap0 with own address as source address [22444435.178721] br0: received packet on tap0 with own address as source address


Getting it in the kernel log of one of my servers. This is a Layer 2 ethernet bridge setup. This issue does not cause any outage, extra traffic, slowdown, broadcast storm or whatever, the communication is all OK but I keep getting these messages once in a while in the servers dmesg and would like them to go away by actually finding the root cause and fixing the problem.

My setup is a bit complex but I narrow it down to this:

Server |BR0| == tap0 + tap1

Client1 |BR0| == tap0 + eth0
Client2 |BR0| == tap0 + eth0

the 2 taps go to 2 another locations where they are bridged into the local eth0 therefore bridging 3 networks together.
The config is the same on both sides.

Server Configs are for 2 separate openvpn daemons:

dev tap0
server-bridge 10.20.20.1 255.255.255.0 10.20.20.11 10.20.20.22
tls-server
tls-auth ta.key 0
client-to-client
dh dh2048.pem
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
port 4000
comp-lzo
keepalive 10 120
mute-replay-warnings

with slightly different IP ranges. Note, these ranges just for the configuration to work, the actual ip range will be 192.168.5.x assigned to br0 on the endpoints. But as I noticed this does not cause the issue I can go and reconfigure tap0 on the endpoints to 0.0.0.0 and still keep getting these messages on the main server.
