- bool "Frame Diverter (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
- ---help---
- 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...
