I'm interested in programming a virtual network device driver -Linux concept- on a FreeBSD box. The idea behind of this sort of interface is the following: "From the kernel's point of view, a network interface is a software object that can process outgoing packets, and the actual transmission mechanism remains hidden inside the interface driver. Even though most interfaces are associated to physical devices (or, for the loopback interface, to a software-only data loop), it is possible to design network interface drivers that rely on other interfaces to perform actual packet transmission. The idea of a ``virtual'' interface can be useful to implement special-purpose processing on data packets while avoiding to hack with the network subsystem of the kernel."
Isn't this exactly the same thing that FreeBSD's Netgraph subsystem does? man 4 netgraph Sincerely, Dmitry -- Atlantis ISP, System Administrator e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] nic-hdl: LYNX-RIPE _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
