It's typically implemented as a set of mask-and-compare arrays, so you can set more or less arbitrary packets of interest. The closest match is to a stateless filtering language, like IPsec policy or part of IP Filter. Actually having users specify those arrays would probably not be the right way to go. ;-} -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
