Having the possibility to tag a packet would be worth indeed. But I think that Milan wants to bring network stack virtualization in newer release of FreeBSD IIUC. This would be, IMO, a great improvement of FreeBSD networking, although I'm pretty sure this would make Netgraph people react a bit ;-). > pf does something along these lines in case you are looking for references. Would it be possible to share this tag among pf and ipfw ? Regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org >
