are u doin some sort of tunneling ? On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 6:03 AM, Sri Ram Vemulpali <sri.ram.gmu06@gmail.com>wrote:
Whenever you manipulate the packet before PRE_ROUTING point in the stack, the kernel will decide whether to route the packet to LOCAL or FORWARD. If you have pointer pointing to right IP header kernel will use it to route. You really do not have to write routing code.
Also, when you say inner and outer header what do you mean by it. I did not encounter this.
Thanks, Sri.

i had a similar problem where in i was using SKB_PUSH to add extra header,,,, i used this... structure called flowi.... which can be used to define a sort of traffic class...based on some combination of fields
iph->daddr =htonl(xxxxxx); { struct rtable *rt; struct flowi fl; memset(&fl, 0x0, sizeof(struct flowi)); fl.fl4_dst = htonl(xxxxxxx); fl.proto = IPPROTO_TCP; if (!ip_route_output_key(&init_net, &rt, &fl)) { iph->saddr= htonl(ntohl(rt->rt_src));
skb_dst_set(skb2, &rt->u.dst);
}

HI Friends, Looking for a Confirmation on my analysis.
Once after Capturing the Socket Buffer in PRE_ROUTING Hook; Manipulated the Socket Buffer by using the "skb_pull" Kernel Function. Using
skb_pull;
stripped 28 bytes (IP+UDP) which are the Part of outer UDP/IP Header. Now; My intention was to route the skb based on the Inner IP Header which is sitting after stripping 28 bytes. At the END; returned NF_ACCEPT.
Even though; skb_pull worked Fine., Kernel's Stack is still looking in to Outer Header only for Routing the Packet.I expected ;Kernel will look the Inner Header (As data Pointer was incremented by 28 bytes via skb_pull) and Take decision based on the Inner one. But; that didn't happened. It looks to me like; we need to always use NF_STOLEN & should write our own code to route based on the INNER HEADER. Was my conclusion correct ??
-Thanks in Advance, VKS
