Probably could - but I'd prefer solutions that don't mess with the base
system, which ensures long term usability of FRR across future upgrades.
The BPF man page has an interesting bug note:
BUGS
The read buffer must be of a fixed size (returned by the BIOCGBLEN
ioctl).
A file that does not request promiscuous mode may receive promiscuously
received packets as a side effect of another file requesting this
mode on
the same hardware interface. This could be fixed in the kernel with ad-
ditional processing overhead. However, we favor the model where all
files must assume that the interface is promiscuous, and if so desired,
must utilize a filter to reject foreign packets.
Data link protocols with variable length headers are not currently sup-
ported.
Mark.
