If it has to be integrated into the main > Hurd tree, then we have to make up some rules about how to do this. a) I'm Zheng Da, and I'm working on Network virtualization. The idea is to run multiple pfinet servers on the same hurd, connect them (done by a multiplexer), and meanwhile override the default pfinet server. I created a multiplexer to dispatch the packet, a filter translator to control the packet flow. I modified pfinet and boot in order to work with the multiplexer. I also modified GNU Mach to set the network device into the promiscuous mode. b) I'm not sure if it's stand-alone or not. the multiplexer and the filter translator can be stand-alone, but I modified the existing components of Hurd, too. Best, Zheng Da
