[OpenWrt-Devel] Does anyone use kmod-trelay? Is it better than relayd?

[Alberto Bursi]

It should be a "a trivial ethernet relay which allows pseudo-bridging 
ad-hoc or client mode devices over vlans to other host"

according to the commit message

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/c3bba7f8c61ee98265bcffef8ee86e22aa89bbe9

and the description is

-------

trelay relays ethernet packets between two devices (similar to a 
bridge), but
without any MAC address checks. This makes it possible to bridge client mode
or ad-hoc mode wifi devices to ethernet VLANs, assuming the remote end uses
the same source MAC address as the device that packets are supposed to exit
from.

-----

It seems it will mirror packets between 2 network devices as specified 
in /etc/config/trelay

config trelay
     option enabled    0
     option dev1    eth0
     option dev2    wlan0

Does anyone have experience with it? Is it better than relayd?
