Subject: kernel mode pppoe ppp if + ifb + mirred redirect, ethernet packets in ifb?!

Hi

I am using kernel mode pppoe, and while using mirred on ppp interfaces (to 
shape users upstream) noticed very strange behaviour (and IMHO wrong)

$2 - ppp interface
tc filter add dev $2 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 10 u32 \
match u32 0 0 flowid 1:1 \
action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0"

If i do tcpdump on ppp interface i can see normal ip traffic

PPPoE_146 ~ # tcpdump -ni ppp6 -c 100
tcpdump: WARNING:
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on ppp6, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 96 bytes
11:36:16.541742 IP 172.16.131.221.2182 > 64.4.50.51.443: Flags [F.], seq 
2636760792, ack 2812561777, win 64963, length 0

If i do tcpdump on ifb0 i will see PPPoE incapsulated traffic! 
PPPoE_146 ~ # tcpdump -ni ifb0 -c 100
tcpdump: WARNING: ifb0: no IPv4 address assigned

Is it expected that redirecting ppp interface, that supposed to be clean IP 
traffic is becoming eth encapsulated traffic?
Probably some bad interaction with kernel mode pppoe?
