Hi list, I have a newbie question about divert sockets but I can't find a direct answer. I have a rule like this: ipfw add divert 5555 tcp from me to any 80 keep-state If I understand it correctly, in order to check the data stream properly I have to deal with: 1. packet reordering 2. packet duplication so basically I have to implement part of the TCP stack in my app. I don't have to bother with fragmentation (according to man pages). I won't be able to understand IPSec packets as I will get encrypted IP frames. Am I correct? Or can you please tell me how it really works? Thanks a lot, Jakub
