Subject: [patch 1/5] qeth: HiperSockets layer-3 interface drop non IPv4 or non IPv6 packets
Date: Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:45:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071005144822.229143000@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20071005144543.448852000@linux.vnet.ibm.com

[-- Attachment #1: 705-qeth-pktdrop.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1195 bytes --]

From: Klaus D. Wacker <kdwacker@de•ibm.com>

HiperSockets infrastructure (layer-3 mode) supports only IPv4 or
IPv6 packets. Sending other packet types disturbs TCP/IP on z/VM,
which issues messages about invalid packets.
Qeth send routine will detect packet type on sending over a 
HiperSockets interface (in layer-3 mode) and drop non IP packets.
The error and drop count of the interface is incremented.
