~The hope is that for the third part, we can get a lot of comminuty ~help. ~The initial release will come with some protocol definitions as ~examples ~(HTTP, POP, FTP etc...) but, since anyone with tcpdump (or who turns ~on ~a flag in our code) can observe a protocol stream, and I'm sure many ~of ~you understand basic regular expressions, I hope that we can quickly ~build up a protocol definition library which rivals some of the ~commercial packet-shaping options. Have you thought about using the definitions that are in the Ethereal project??? ~I'll keep you all posted as we release our first code (almost ~certainly ~later in the week) That would be GREAAT. ~>In linux, I wonder if Layer-7 filtering is possible. ~so the answer is... yes, and you can do it too in about a week. ~Ethan Sommer James Jones
