Hi, I am working on my bachelor thesis 'Implementation of the Network Traffic Filter by Microblaze in FPGA' and I decided to use Linux with netfilter for that. The aim is to profit from FPGA chip which offers to add a custom hardware component to the Microblaze soft processor to speed up something. So I would like to add some hardware acceleration to the netfilter, eg. ip address matching. This is accomplished using the processor specific instructions that communicate with the custom hardware piece. I have read the "Writing Netfilter modules" (from xtables-addons page), looked at some code, but I'm still not sure where to start. Do you thing that it is sufficient to write my own match module that will do the job? Where can I find current x_tables' IP address matching code? When is it called and how can I avoid it or replace it...? Thank you very much for any hint. -- Jan Viktorin Microblaze: http://www.xilinx.com/tools/microblaze.htm FPGA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
