the idea is to implement a user level software(C in linux) that performs routing functions on the packets captured from the ethernet card. In Linux, the PCAP.H library can be imported to capture packets from the n/w card. Whenever a packet arrives in the n/w card... it is captured and sniffed. After identifying the IP address, the IP table is searched for the network and if that network address is there, then the packet is injected back into the ethernet card usig another libray "LIBNET". For dyanmic routing, the "OSPF" algorithm needs to be implemented.
does this seem possible to achieve?? can anyone help me on how to get started on writing the source code??
