Hi there,

 I'm searching for a piece of documentation or a 'simple' illustration 
 describing the flow of packets through the network stack.
 
 Currently I'm building a 'gateway-machine' that should get some
 rather complicated (considering my knowledge of the networking code) 
 jobs done. (NAT on multiple interfaces, transparent proxying, etc.)

 My former natd/ipfw-setups were quite simple. But now I'm in need
 of more detailed information concerning:
    - at which stages/times the filter engine sees each packet
    - whether a packet already translated by the natd, carries all
      the 'additional' information (e.x. direction, incoming interface, etc)
      further on
    - etc. etc.

 Yes, ... I've read the obviously available (man-page, READMEs, etc.)
 documentation thoroughly.

Thanks in advance,
    Andreas
