182 ---help---
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...
