Subject: [PATCH perl-rs 3/4] fabrics: openfabric: enable force_forwarding for ipv6 transit traffic
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 17:15:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601151550.118977-4-l.sichert@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260601151550.118977-1-l.sichert@proxmox.com>
In a non-full-mesh OpenFabric setup, nodes may need to relay traffic
between peers that are not directly connected. This requires forwarding
ipv6 packets between fabric bridges. With the addition of
'force_forwarding' to the Linux kernel, this can be done without
enabling 'all.forwarding', which disables Router Advertisements.
Configure fabric bridges with the required 'post-up'/'post-down'
commands to enable 'force_forwarding'.
