The Frame Diverter allows you to divert packets from the
|
||||
network, that are not aimed at the interface receiving it (in
|
||||
promisc. mode). Typically, a Linux box setup as an Ethernet bridge
|
||||
with the Frames Diverter on, can do some *really* transparent www
|
||||
caching using a Squid proxy for example.
|
||||
|
||||
This is very useful when you don't want to change your router's
|
||||
config (or if you simply don't have access to it).
|
||||
|
||||
The other possible usages of diverting Ethernet Frames are
|
||||
numberous:
|
||||
- reroute smtp traffic to another interface
|
||||
- traffic-shape certain network streams
|
||||
- transparently proxy smtp connections
|
||||
- etc...
