Hello,

I would appreciate if somebody will explain in a few sentences, why,
when forwarding
a packet in IPV4 , in ip_forward() method, (net/ipv4/ip_forward.c) we
drop the packet
if it is lro.

To be more specific, why do we have, in ip_forward() :
...
...
if (skb_warn_if_lro(skb))
	goto drop;
...
...

Regards,
Mark Ryden
