modprobe xt_TEE

iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -j TEE --gateway 10.0.0.8 -o eth1

iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -j TEE --gateway 10.0.0.8

iptables -t mangle -I INPUT -j TEE --gateway 10.0.0.8

iptables -t mangle -I FORWARD -j TEE --gateway 192.168.1.60 -o eth1

iptables -t mangle -I OUTPUT -j TEE --gateway 192.168.1.60 -o eth1

run "ping 128.224.162.1"
run "tcpdump -ni eth1 icmp"

We will find the following messages:

...
15:25:01.016549 IP 128.224.162.1 > 128.224.162.180: ICMP echo reply, id 13292, seq 227, length 64

...

That means xt_TEE clones the packets and sends them to eth1.
