In FreeBSD we only have pfil_hooks for IP level packets. While the instrumentation is there to provide other hook points with the pfil API it hasn't happend as it would result in performance degradation (at least one function call/memory read per hook point). Unless a specific application makes it worthwhile to add another hookup point, I don't think it's worthwhile to provide such. There is some work going on to provide L2 hooks, however. More information about FreeBSD's pfil implementation can be found in src/sys/net/pfil.? and the pfil(9) manpage. -- /"\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
