In ether_input, you disable the check for maximum frame size, why?

Hi,

Over ethernet, MPLS uses a 4 size header prepended between data and network layer. I wanted to be sure that ether_input() won't drop these baby giant frames.


In ip_output, you are destroying the indentation. I don't like the chunk
for 480/493 (in_broadcast).

Indentation check is on TODO list for all the code.

Have you tested that the checksumming is
done correctly?


Yes, mostly, I haven't seen much problems (except HW cksumming I've fixed sometime ago).

I wonder if some of the code above is cleaner if MPLS_IS_TAGGED is
always defined and just returns false for the !MPLS case.


I don't know. Why should it ? Code is #ifdef MPLS'ed everywhere currently.
