183 | The Frame Diverter allows you to divert packets from the | ||
184 | network, that are not aimed at the interface receiving it (in | ||
185 | promisc. mode). Typically, a Linux box setup as an Ethernet bridge | ||
186 | with the Frames Diverter on, can do some *really* transparent www | ||
187 | caching using a Squid proxy for example. | ||
188 | |||
189 | This is very useful when you don't want to change your router's | ||
190 | config (or if you simply don't have access to it). | ||
191 | |||
192 | The other possible usages of diverting Ethernet Frames are | ||
193 | numberous: | ||
194 | - reroute smtp traffic to another interface | ||
195 | - traffic-shape certain network streams | ||
196 | - transparently proxy smtp connections | ||
197 | - etc... | ||
