Subject: Re: [iproute2] tc action mirred    question

I am a newbie for 'traffic control' and Linux networking. So I ask some experts here  to help me.
Maybe my questions are stupid. But I hope I can get your reply. Thank you!

(1) Could I use  pedit action to modify the dst MAC, so the destination node D will accept it, then forward it to 
node C?  (or use other tools to modify the dst MAC, please give me more information)

(2) If I use 'ifconfig wlan0 promisc ... ' on node D, would it route the mirroring packets (the dst MAC is incorrect)
to node C?

>> 2)  After I mirrored the packets, I should use 'ip route' , 'ip rule' to modify route tables.  Is this right?
