This patch enables filtering of gratuitous ARP packets using the following XML:
<rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='425'>
<arp gratuitous='true'/>
</rule>
This patch adds support for the evaluation of TCP flags in nwfilters.
It adds documentation to the web page and extends the tests as well.
Also, the nwfilter schema is extended.
The following are some example for rules using the tcp flags:
<rule action='accept' direction='in'>
<tcp state='NONE' flags='SYN/ALL' dsptportstart='80'/>
</rule>
<rule action='drop' direction='in'>
<tcp state='NONE' flags='SYN/ALL'/>
</rule>
This patch adds the possibility to not just drop packets, but to also have them rejected where iptables at least sends an ICMP msg back to the originator. On ebtables this again maps into dropping packets since rejecting is not supported.
I am adding 'since 0.8.9' to the docs assuming this will be the next version of libvirt.
This patch adds another example to the nwfilter html page and provides 2 solutions for how to write a filter meeting the given requirements using newly added features.
