Linux to be configured as Network Device HUB

Hello everyone,

I would like to configure my linux device as a network device HUB (OSI Layer 1 device).

I have a requirement for my linux pc to broadcast the traffic over the other ports irrespective of the type of traffic whether it is Protocol PDU or normal traffic.

I had a hunch on the Linux bridging (brctl), that it would not forward the protocol packets.

Please guide, if any option is available.

Thx
Raj
