RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Kapil Dakhane 2010-05-11 22:32:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
The IPv6 transparency has already been implemented and Bytemobile has verified
that it works correctly. It is available at:
    http://git.balabit.hu/?p=bazsi/tproxy-2.6.git;a=summary

This was verified by running ip6tables command to set mangle rules:

ip6tables --table mangle --append PREROUTING --in-interface eth2.39 --protocol
tcp --destination ::0/0 --destination-port 0:65535 --jump TPROXY --tproxy-mark
0x1/0xFFFFFFFF --on-ip fdfd:6b2a:f17e::c0a8:2701 --on-port 4101
This gives following output:
ip6tables v1.4.6: unknown option `--tproxy-mark'
Try `ip6tables -h' or 'ip6tables --help' for more information.


FYI, We require this feature to claim that our product is IPv6 compliant. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.4.6

How reproducible:
Happens everytime.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup an ipv6 address for an interface
2. Issue above mentioned command
3.

Actual results:

ip6tables v1.4.6: unknown option `--tproxy-mark'
Try `ip6tables -h' or 'ip6tables --help' for more information.

Expected results:
Command is accepted and IPv6 transparency works.

Hello

I was able to see RFE filed to add tproxy to rhel 6 but currently the rhel 6
beta does not seem to have support for (v6) tproxy and the option --tproxy-mark
. Since rhel 6 beta is not a supported release would it be possible for you to
file a bugzilla regarding this case.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-12 00:13:42 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 14:18:51 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Comment 5 Subhendu Ghosh 2010-07-16 17:07:48 UTC 
Is the patch merged upstream?
Comment 6 Thomas Graf 2010-07-16 21:34:04 UTC 
Yes, this is upstream.

Patch was merged in commit e84392707e10301b93121e1b74e2823db50cdf9e.
Comment 7 Subhendu Ghosh 2010-07-16 21:46:51 UTC 
Thanks Thomas
Comment 9 Thomas Graf 2010-07-20 08:57:47 UTC 
The RHEL6 kernel tree already includes the latest revision of TPROXY except for two minor cosmetic commits not affecting behaviour.

What is the status of the iptables package WRT tproxy?
Comment 10 Thomas Graf 2010-07-20 09:03:45 UTC 
I just noticed that this RFE asks for IPv6 support in TPROXY exclusively which isn't even implemented upstream yet. I misread this assuming it only requested the upstream TPROXY code to be back ported.

I think we have to NACK this.
Comment 11 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-20 21:34:37 UTC 
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal
this decision by reopening this request.
Comment 12 Subhendu Ghosh 2010-07-28 20:06:52 UTC 
This request is being deferred to RHEL 6.1 pending inclusion of the Balabit patches referenced in Comment #0 in the upstream kernel.
Comment 13 Thomas Graf 2010-09-03 10:51:45 UTC 
Upstream integration of this feature will be discussed at the netfilter summit in October 2010. Actual integration planned for November.
