hmmmm, netgraph's bridging code is more direct but it can not do IP filtering on the packets that are en-route. This is because it is a purely MAC-layer service. I am not sure about Luigi's bridging code. I know the dummynet stuff seems to connect with the ipfw code but I don't think that the bridge code does... (I may be wrong) So I don't know how you plan on filtering the bridged segments.. On Thu, 28 Sep 2000, Boyd R. Faulkner wrote: > On Thu, Sep 28, 2000 at 12:11:54AM -0700, Peter S.
