Re: bringing pf (4) to OS X via NKE




Those familiar with the KPIs may not be familiar with pf.

An interface filter or an IP filter are the most likely places to tie in to the stack. I know nothing of pf, so I can't really help with a better answer.

Hello all,

I'm posting my intention to port pf (4) (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4) to an NKE for use as a replacement or complement to the current ipfw2.

According to the Network Kernel Extensions Programming Guide (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/ NKEConceptual/index.html) it seems I might use an Interface Filter KPI mechanism to accomplish such a task. So I ask those who are more familiar with NKEs, is this a reasonable task, am I sane to try it, and do you have any words of advice?

Thank you for your time,
Joe Gorse
