Re: return traffic to default gw

Hi Robert,

Since my default gw is pointed to the ip address on the direct
connected router, so whenever my linux box receive ip that is not for
itself, should linux ip stack return the traffic back to router without
any other config ?

Thanks,
Ming

Hi,

My linux host (FC4) connects to a router through a direct connect FE
interface. The default gw on my host is set to the router. My
application need to return the traffic that is NOT destined to me.

How do I acomplish this ? As my experiment, the traffic seems silently
drop or digested by my linux host.

How about using REJECT? Only good for TCP traffic. Place it before the
DROP statement in your rules.
