We're trying to solve a lot of problems that people have with low level packet
handling for network monitoring. Not sure how much I have to say about it
quite yet, but the tool is called PacketBricks and can be found here:

One request we've been proxying through Luigi, but I'd like to push it with
more people is to get netmap compiled into the GENERIC FreeBSD kernel. In my
opinion it would be nice for FreeBSD to reclaim the position of the best OS for
network monitoring and I think that netmap compiled into the default install
would be fantastic.
