Meaning that inbound SYNs would be placed in a net channel for processing by a Consumer at the other end of the ring? If so the rules filtering SYNs would have to be applied either before it went into the ring, or when the consumer end takes them out. The latter makes more sense to me, because the rules about what remote hosts can initiate a connection request to a given TCP port can be fairly complex for a variety of legitimate reasons. Would it be reasonable to state that a net channel carrying SYNs should not be set up when the consumer is a user mode process? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
