Joseph, > > Have you looked at netgraph(4) and ng_socket(4)? > Thanx for the reply. I looked into them now. But looks like it will be an overkill for me. Let me give a little more context of my problem. I need to evaluate a new congestion control protocol (which has been implemented as an extension to TCP) on a test-bed. So, everytime a packet is sent I just need to log a set a parameters, this applies to hosts and routers. All the logs are then analyzed offline by another application. So, there is primarily no interaction between my entities either in/between hosts or routers. Hence, I need to insert log stubs inline in the kernel. Hope, things are a little clearer now. Please let me know if have any other suggestions. Also, let me know if you still think netgraph can help and I have got it wrong. Thanks, Amit
