[Ns-developers] Netfilter code review

[Qasim Javed]

Hi,

As a part of my GSoC project, I have added a framework similar to
netfilter, which exists in the Linux Kernel, to ns-3. I would really
appreciate if you guys can review the code so that I can proceed to
merge it with ns-3-dev.

I recommend reading the following wiki article which mentions some
details of the implementation. It should make it easy for you to
review the code.

My repository is located at

http://code.nsnam.org/qasimj/ns-3-dev-netfilter/

I have added an example to "examples/netfilter-example.cc" which uses
the framework. The example creates a TCP and a UDP flow and when the
packets belonging to these flows traverse the hooks, relevant
information is printed, such as which hook is processing the packet
and what type of packet it is.

Thanks,
Qasim Javed
