My instinctive reaction is to say no. Heres a (slightly complex) example: --> eth0(GSO ON) ---> lo --> eth1(GSO off) --> eth3(GSO ON) When we get to lo in the above graph, input_dev=eth0 and when we leave that info will be overwritten to be input_dev=lo. I just added the GSO markers (incase that info is useful) to show that we could move in the same topology between GSO and non-GSO devices. I believe it would be fine for lo not to preserve. Not sure if it is ok as a general rule though. cheers, jamal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
