[netmap/vale-ctl] when could process packet

[upyzl]

(forgot cc before)

Hi, Jim

thanks for reply

this is my graduate design project
my aim is to implement a simple software switch based on openflow using
FreeBSD netmap as network I/O framework

besides, I'm succeed doing on bridge.c at 2 interfaces
add like
/********************* Func: int main()

rxring0 = NETMAP_RXRING((me+1)->nifp, (me+1)->begin);
struct netmap_slot *rs0 = &rxring0->slot[rxring0->cur];
unsigned char *rxbuf0 = (unsigned char *)(NETMAP_BUF(rxring0,
rs0->buf_idx));

 *********************/
then process rxbuf0 before packet move

but I need do at many interfaces, like vale-ctl does
It's also hard to add interfaces on bridge.c, and from netmap introduces, I
should use vale-ctl
