Hi, history: We have developed an application which captures packets from userspace ip queue in netfilter and controls virus and p2p traffic on the network. Further a bandwidth management is also developed using userspace queueing. It is tested and working fine. Our clients are not ready to change the logical network configuration (IP address etc.) in order to introduce this linux box. We then used 2.4.18 kernel to develop a bridge with netfilter, so that logical network need not be disturbed. It is currently deployed with 8 or our customers. Problem: It takes too much of time to start (running CIII cyrix motherboard) and is a bulky O/S we dont need most of the stuff that is installed/running on the server. We want to make a small linux distribution based on the kernel 2.4.18 with bridge-nf patch, which should install on a 256 MB usb memory. We know it could be done. Resources, including time, allocated to us are running out and we need help urgently. Thanks for your help in advance. Apologies if we are at wrong place.
