Re: Bridging over FR

Shiran,

I used the capture feature on dynamips to analyze the frames sent. As Hadek
stated, without bridging, the frames included only one L2 header

FR hdr - IP hdr - payload (icmp in my case) |

When i changed over to bridging with IP on BVIs, the frames now had two L2
headers as follows:

FR hdr - Eth Hdr - IP hdr - payload

Get Wireshark and try it out.
