freeBSD /ipfw/ divert socket

[Amit Mondal]

Hi All,

I need a little help with FreeBSD Kernel stuff. I wanna use Divert Socket to
sniff IP packet in FreeBSD.
For that I have compiled the kernel with options IPDIVERT and everything is
ok.

Now, when I am not really sniffing and re-injecting the packet back to the
network stack, it is basically dropping all the packets. But I want it
pass-through it, when no application is reading at divert socket. My
question is, HOW CAN I MAKE IT PASS-THROUGH? IF NO APPLICATION IS READING
FROM DIVERT SOCKET, IT SHOULD WORK AS IF THERE IS NO DIVERT SOCKET.

Thanks in adavnce
