Hello hackers, I am working on the project "Ringmap capturing stack for high performance packet capturing in FreeBSD". I will continue my work on this project within the context of GSoC2010. The goal of my work is implementing the new software components for efficient packet capturing at 1Gb and 10Gb in FreeBSD. The new software should make it possible to minimize packet loss and CPU load during packet capture. The project comprises an adapted version of the libpcap for transparency towards typical user-space programs. So, any applications that use libpcap for packet capturing shouldn't require modification in order to run with the new ringmap network driver (and new modified libpcap). The project details 1.

Wiki Pages with project schedule for GSoC2010: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AlexandreFiveg/SOC2010AlexandreFiveg I will be happy to get your feedback, suggestions and questions... and of course your help :) Best regards, Alexandre -- Alexandre Fiveg <pebu3op@googlemail.com>
