Hi all. I have a netfilter_queue app which receives packets on a port range and do modifications on them. Now i need to introduce to new features with this basic app. First the traffic is quiet high. I have seen the --queue-balance option. If i want to use it how should i approach? i mean should i manage every queue from separate threads or separate process to manage individual queues? I'm not sure how can i use fork() to manage every queue separately. Secondly How packets are distributed among different queues? Based on what property a packet is distributed? Any relationship i need to know about this distribution? Thirdly I need to concatenate udp payloads of several packet to improve bandwidth usage. how should i approach this? The confusion is when i stop finish processing of one packet i call nfq_set_verdict() in nfq_callback(). My confusion is when a packet popped from the NFQUEUE? when nfq_set_verdict() returns or when nfq_callback() returns? I mean if i push the incoming packets in user managed queues for concatenation of udp payload(by this i will also drop individual packets), then return from the nfq_callback(). After processing in user managed queues(concatenation is done) then i will issue nfq_set_verdict(). Would that work? Thanks in advance. -- -aft -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
