I've been talking with Luca Deri about a paper he wrote ( http://luca.ntop.org/Ring.pdf). In it he says he plans to port this to FreeBSD. I was just wondering if anyone has looked this his work. I'd help him but seeing as this is way over my perl skills head i though i would post over here about it. The code is over here. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ntop/ring-1.0.tar.gz?download If you haven't read the paper you should. It shows how much polling helps bpf capturing on FreeBSD, and compares this with linux. The patches add code to bpf and nic drivers from the looks of it.
