We parse several parameters such as: Protocol distribution (X% HTTP, Y% FTP, Z%H.323, etc), connection burst or not, num packets, etc Then we build in-memory descriptors of the traffic, to later dump full packets to the table. A second machine is prepared behind the firewall to answer part of the traffic in order to activate contrack mechanism of a netfilter/iptables firewall in between. Is this what you were looking for ? It should be finished in early july. I do not know yet if my boss will allows us to release it as open source. If so I'll announce it here, otherwise get in thouch with us by then that I'll read the price tag for you ;o) best regards Senra -- Rodrigo Senra MSc Computer Engineer (GPr Sistemas Ltda) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~921234 (LinUxer 217.243) (ICQ 114477550)
