We're trying to solve a lot of problems that people have with low level = packet handling for network monitoring. Not sure how much I have to say = about it quite yet, but the tool is called PacketBricks and can be found = here:=20 https://github.com/bro/packet-bricks One request we've been proxying through Luigi, but I'd like to push it = with more people is to get netmap compiled into the GENERIC FreeBSD = kernel. In my opinion it would be nice for FreeBSD to reclaim the = position of the best OS for network monitoring and I think that netmap = compiled into the default install would be fantastic. .Seth -- Seth Hall International Computer Science Institute (Bro) because everyone has a network http://www.bro.org/
