I'll be happy to help, too, if so desired, I have been playing with
IPFilters in a pretty serious way for many years (and ipfw before
that) and may well

one can replace "IP" in that sentence with so many other things... i'm
really glad plan9 exists.

as long as you restrict your network to plan 9 machines, it is possible
to import /net from a gateway machine and avoid sticky things like packet
filtering.
Back to the future yet? May I suggest that the "sticky" packet filtering,
more generally packet manipulation, has crucial applications in

P.S.: Thanks for all the pointers...

So, the bottom line is no one has really explored Plan 9 on routers.
It seems that /net/iproute is where I can start. It has a complete
interface for editing routes. What we need is a user space script that
implements routing, like http://www.openbgp.org/ does on OpenBSD.
Except that, it will only

#I publishes routes in iproute, typically bound so that
this appears as /net/iproute. that's probablly a good start.

I was poking around for what it would take to get there. I found
this[1]. I am basically looking to have a way to do routing using Plan
9. You can already do that on any standard Linux using Quagga[2] based
on GNU Zebra.
Maybe there is a filesystem that exposes the kernel routing table to
user spa
