Hi all,
This patchset aims at providing Linux with a simple and extensible Ethernet
switch configuration API. It comes with two drivers, one for Broadcom BCM53xx
aka Roboswitch and a simulation/fake one to help developpers.
These patches have been used in OpenWrt since 2008 to drive various
Ethernet switches commonly found in small home and office wireless routers.
The documentation part of the patch explains why this solution was developped
in contrast to using DSA, user-space or something else deeply in details, but
to summarize:
- DSA is Marvell centric and messes up with the actual Ethernet frames, its
control path is scattered around bridge, ethtool and iproute...
- swconfig is focused on providing a standard control path for Ethernet
switches out there from $vendor and is extensible without core kernel
changes and user-space changes too thanks to its netlink interface
