bpf packet capture and SOCK_STREAM socket redirects...

[Alireza Torabi]

Imagine this:

           | (1)
     packets
           |                     | (4)
        [nic1]             [nic2]
         bpf             SOCK_STREAM
          |  (2)                |
              [FreeBSD] (3)

1) all user traffic are being monitored
2) bpf on [nic] is capturing these packets
3) after processing we know a connection is about to be established from A to B

NOW:
4) I want to deliver this packet to the socket on [nic2]
and as this is a tcp socket it'll take care of it from there
(my code here for this sockets sends and arbitary data to A making it
think it came from B)

hope this helps.
