I have to write a program that capture all the IP traffic and elaborate it
(it has also to route it to a simulated radio bridge connected via
TCP/IP...).
How to capture the packets ?
I initially tryied with "libpcap" but I had some problems (it gave me a
segm. fault...). Then I though that for my kind of work it'd have been
enough an easyer way to work: I can configure a firewall (ipchains) for all
"input" packets that REDIRECT them to a local socket.
this is the command I gave:
ipchains -A input -d \! 127.0.0.1 -p TCP -j REDIRECT 7777
this should redirect all outgoing traffic to my local port 7777, but it
doesn't work. It just works as if there was no firewall.
I have 3 "or-ed" questions:
1) do you have any other way to capture packets, elaborate them and redirect
something else?
2) why my firewall config does not what I expect?
3) do you have any easy example for libpcap that does something similar??
Thank you

Hi!
Is there anyone knows where I can find complete supporting function
specification for device driver writer?
from here I saw one:(seems was written in 1996)
http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/khg/HyperNews/get/devices/reference.html
and seems it is too old and not including something like "ioremap" that
kind fucntion.
any one can tell me where to get the newer and more complete one?
thank you!

Yeah, the new time interval is not guarantee to be 100 microseconds.
Could you give me some more details about rtc? Thanks!

Not without applying experimental kernel patches and recompiling your
kernel, no.
Note that processes already *have* a measure of cpu affinity built
into the scheduler; it prefers to run then on the cpu they were last
running on. If you're seeing processes bouncing between cpus it may be
a masurement artifact (ie, the use of top / xosview to observe the
processes is adding a process to the run queue which changes the
scheduler decisions.) If you run a pair of cpu-bound test programs
that find out for themselves (from /proc say) which cpu they are
running on, you should find that they tend to remain on the same cpu.

Since everyone else in the entire programming universe as jumped in
on this except for me, I decided I had better jump in and ask a
question: where do you get
EditPlus? at Tucows? ZDNet? or just query on any search engine? I'll try
all of those suggestions now.

One thing I miss most about "xrn" is that convenient "Author Kill" button.
Forget it PT. I'll do 32 MB and yast before putting up with your attitude.

That does help, although I suppose one could copy-and-paste from
a monocolor editor to a dicoloreditor.... :-)
The main problem there is to tell what the highlighted region is.
(I have the same problem with the term "monochrome".)

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sten)
Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 20:05:41 GMT
I have done more research and have not found
much. I have also modified my sample app to
detect 'spikes' in the time reported. The wierd
part is that the 'spikes' are happening sporatically
and are a consistent size. Here is a sample output
from the new test app:
987109039 spike 4295 seconds (71.5833 minutes)
987109040 spike 4295 seconds (71.5833 minutes)
987109041 spike 4295 seconds (71.5833 minutes)
Note that the spikes are about 72 minutes... which
struck me as odd, considering this snippet from
the clock() manpage:
Note that the time can wrap around. On a 32bit system
where CLOCKS_PER_SEC equals 1000000 this function will
return the same value approximately every 72 minutes.
What exactly does this mean? The CPU is confused?

I don't have an attitude. I'm telling you what's wrong. If you want to
interpret what's wrong as in some way an insult to yourself, that's
your problem. The facts don't care! If it helps .. I'm not insulted by
being told that "I've messed up". That's just the fact! Now you need to
take it into account. You now know that you can stop looking for other
things to blame, with high probability. The bios is not to blame, in
particular. You can be sure of that. That leaves two things to blame:
the memory, or you.
