Only on BSD. It uses other mechanisms on other OSes. > Can we use/change the code of BPF so as to use libpcap > & bpf for packet filtering FIREWALL. No, that wouldn't be sufficient. As per my previous mail, libpcap has no mechanism for writing packets; you'd have to add that as well. Most if not all of the BSDs that have BPF also have their own packet filtering mechanism, I think, which could be used to implement a firewall. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
