Hi,
I am presently using LPF (Linux Packet Filters ) for doing some
filtering at the socket layer and recieving the whole frame ( from
ethernet and everything else) . But i recently read in a couple of man
pages and in documentation that SOCK PACKET is going to be obsoleted(
SOCK PACKET is what LPF uses..) .And there are places in the document
which advices not to use SOCK PACKET in future code. Now is there
anything else that replaces the functionality of Linux Paket Filters and
the SOCK packets. Some man pages advice referring to packet(4) which is
a filter but is veryhigh level filter which filters on Broadcast or
multicast and all packets to the machine .I am looking for a mechanism
that replaces this SOCK packet with about the same amount of
functionality.
I do understand that there must be a very good reason to obselete the
SOCK packet and i just want to know as to what replaced it.
Thanks a lot
-VJ
