I don't think you can do this. The `tun' device acts like a normal network interface, and has it's own route, etc, so you couldn't just dump all the traffic from an ethernet onto it, the packet would have to be routed to the i/f. Perhaps the `bpf' device is what you're looking for? > part 2: what kind of thruput could be expected when doing this? If I had > a pentium 166 could it saturate a 10Mbit line? What % of a 100Mbit link Dunno ... you were asking in part one about dumping ether -> process, not vice versa! Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD - Turning PC's into workstations.
