I need to put together a bridging packet filter. I've done so in
the past with bridge(4) and ipfw(8), and am willing to do so again.
However, there seems to be a great deal of interest nowadays in
using netgraph(4).
Two things I haven't yet been able to glean from the archives (yet,
pointers appreciated):
- Is it currently achieveable? I get the impression from
<http://www.daemonnews.org/200003/netgraph.html>
"here are many node types yet to be written:
An implementation of the Dynamic Packet Filter as a netgraph
node. DPF is sort of a hyper-speed JIT compiling version of
BPF."
that such an ability is not quite in place yet.
- Would a netgraph-based bridge be limited to the set of interfaces
documented in bridge(4)?
Just fishing for info...
