i agree, but ... we have user space ppp, with all kind of useful things like filter etc. it is slower than kernel ppp, but everybody keep using it. so may be we can build a kind of "smart" bridge. it will touch only specific interfaces, collect information about route to specific MAC's etc. thanks, emax > > I've released Ethernet TAP driver v0.2 for FreeBSD > ... > > Folks, what do you think about smart user-space Ethernet bridge? > > Anyone needs it? > > i think performance is a big problem here (same as in the case of > user-space natd, but worse because a bridge touches all packets). > You have too many data copies. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
