Hi Everybody, I have compiled my kernel with support of netmap without any changes on ipfw. Afterwards, I defined ipfw rules and surprisingly they worked!! Before my experiment on ipfw, I'd thought because packets are reached to userspace directly by means of netmap, so in-kernel ipfw won't be able to check them in between?! Could anyone clarify me how in-kernel tools are able to work even after netmap is used?
