OpenSolaris uses (and comes with) IPFilter rather than IPFW. If you really do need IPFW, then it sounds like you'll want to launch a project to port it over. > Netgraph: > > http://people.freebsd.org/~julian/netgraph.html That looks like a relatively large porting project to me. However, there are several technologies built into OpenSolaris that perform the functions that would otherwise be served by netgraph, so it's possible that the problem you need to solve is already workable on OpenSolaris without having to port netgraph. See, for instance, the "create-simnet" feature in dladm. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
