hi all I use the lib ipq. I want to know how one can make the difference between an outgoing and incoming packets with the lib ipq . I queued incoming and outgoing packets . i use the packet information to look at the tcp/ip headers and check the ip addresses to see if it is incoming or outgoing but it doesnt work if the localhost send a packet at his self (ex : source adress: 127.0.0.1 , dest adress: 127.0.0.1). how can i make the difference ? sorry for my bad english :)
