kernel module does not print packet info

719 Views Asked by At

I would like to use a c kernel module to capture all the network packets coming to an interface.. My topology is something like A--->B--->C, which means A sends a UDP packet to C's IP, but the packet will go through B.

My problem is that: at B side, by tcpdump, I can really capture the packet with IP(A)--->IP(C), however, in the kernel code, it does not capture such event (e.g. no print out messages as shown in the following code sample.).

My code is pretty much similar as one previous thread in How to echo a packet in kernel space using netfilter hooks?, and here I also paste the key parts in the following.

Please, someone has the idea to solve it? anywhere wrong?

Thank you so much.

ps, if "A" directly UDP packet to "B" (destination IP is B). then it successfully print out the message...(/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is 1, and there is no iptables rule to drop the packet.).. I tried on debian 6.0 and ubuntu 14.04 real PC, and none of them is working..however, when I tried on a virtual machine with Ubuntu 14.04, it works..
