We are deploying netfilter in a research project for a customer. He wants to be able to distinguish natted hosts on the WAN side for traceability. Just don't ask further. ;-) So if no one has ever implemented that: Where do I start? Where is the implicit source port mapping done (the one to avoid clashes) and can I hook into this mechnism with a kernel module, or should I modify the existing kernel code (which I have not looked at - yet)? > BR, > > Le mercredi 01 novembre 2006 à 16:24 +0100, Andreas Micklei a écrit : > > Greetings, > > > > I have an unusual (maybe?) request.
