These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local

other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

- The Frame Diverter allows you to divert packets from the

- promisc. mode). Typically, a Linux box setup as an Ethernet bridge
- with the Frames Diverter on, can do some *really* transparent www

- 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

- - reroute smtp traffic to another interface
- - traffic-shape certain network streams
- - transparently proxy smtp connections
