Title: Proxy ARP for openSUSE
Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Requested by: Dean Martin (deano_ferrari)
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
parprouted is a daemon for transparent IP (Layer 3) proxy ARP bridging. I would like to have a parprouted RPM available for openSUSE
http://freecode.com/projects/parprouted
Use Case:
Example: A simple way to create a wireless bridge (whereas a wireless client interface cannot be bridged to an ethernet interface in this manner)
AP ---<wlan0>host running parprouted<eth0>---Ext device
Business case (Partner benefit):
openSUSE.org: This is useful for creation of transparent firewalls and bridging networks with different MAC protocols. Also, unlike standard bridging, proxy ARP bridging allows to bridge Ethernet networks behind wireless nodes without using WDS or layer 2 bridging.
