Hi How can I add an extra layer of processing b/w the IP and ethernet layers using a kernel module ? If I load a module, I should be able to access the functions exported by IP and ethernet. Also, I think the ethernet layer can be configured to use my module as the protocol by patching ifconfig. Am I right so far ? So, how do I get IP to use my module as it's link layer ? If I am wrong, what's the proper way ? Or is there any other simpler way ? My requirement is to add a compression layer (RFC 2507) Regards Gautham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
