Sorry for missing the post last week, I wasn't trying to waste your
time. I'm really interested in trying to get Dummynet to work. Is
there any chance you could give me an idea of what needs to be done? As
you said, I've tried adding an option for Dummynet to the MASTER file
(along with trying to manually define it), but there's definitely more
work left. Thanks for your help!
The main issue, I believe, in getting dummynet to work is to rewrite its
interface with the rest of the kernel to conform to what's called DLIL
(the Data Link Interface layer). It's documented, after a fashion and
in a somewhat out-of-date form, in the file
file://Developer/Documentation/Darwin/Extensions/NKE.pdf. I'd start
there, and also look at if_ethersubr.c in the FreeBSD and Darwin kernels
to get a feel for what the differences are.
That said, it's a significant task. If you undertake it, it will make
you stronger :-}.
Regards,
Justin
