NetGate implements a rule-based packet-forwarding system for use on Sun SPARC computers. It allows a system/network administrator to define sets of rules which precisely control which IP datagrams are to be forwarded and which are to be dropped. These rules may then be applied to every IP datagram, both incoming and outgoing, on the machine where NetGate is running.
The package consists of the following elements:
The rule executor, implemented as a loadable STREAMS module.
The NetGate device driver, implemented as a loadable module.
A user application library to allow NetGate functions to be available to other programs.
The rule executor inside the kernel.
A replacement for the standard network packet forwarding mechanism.
A loadable system call to interface between user address space and the kernel
A user application that compiles the rules and interfaces with the rule executor.
A sample rule file (ASCII text)
