User friendliness: log improper MTU while Gatekeeper servers forward packets from back to front net

Open AltraMayor opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

When a network is correctly set up, there are no MTU issues at Gatekeeper servers. Nevertheless, it can be difficult to identify if a protected server has a wrong MTU. Therefore, Gatekeeper servers should log packets coming from the back net to be forwarded to the front net whose size exceeds the front net's MTU. This new log entry should be implemented in gk/main.c:process_fib_back().

A log entry for the reverse situation should also be implemented. This case should be very rare, so it's more for completeness than actual functionality.
