Hi,
I am trying to perform ALTQ on a process running on the router itself.
I have bound the application to to internal IP address (10.10.10.254),
that which is bound to the internal interface.
When I log-all packets passing out this interface, I cannot see any data
going to 10.10.10.254, just other hosts on my network. This is bound to
be how it is meant to be, but its not healping my situation. Is there
anyway to make the kernel put frames destined for itself on the
appropriate interface?
No; the Unix kernel short-circuits any packets destined for any of its
interfaces and puts them on the loopback interface. Perhaps you
should be looking there?
Why would you want to queue stuff that the router is sending to
itself? It's not like you're bandwidth-limited, because it never goes
over a communications link. It's CPU-limited, and it gets processed
as soon as it "appears" on lo0.
