Description Luigi Rizzo 2003-04-15 21:40:17 UTC
the attached patch implements a new option for net/trafsnow. From the
manpage:
       -m     [src-ip M] [dst-ip M] [src-port M] [dst-port M] [proto M]
              Mask the specified field with mask M (which should be  specified
              as  an  hex number e.g. 0xffff0000) before further processing of
              the packet. This allows to aggregate traffic in the  display  to
              ease analysis.

Fix: attached is a patch to put in ports/net/trafshow/files/patch-mask

Luigi,

This seems like an interesting feature. The patch appears to have at
least a few issues. (I only had a few minutes to look into this):

o The masks are reset to zero when -m is specified (so all fields are
  completely masked, which isn't very helpful ;-)
o Using strtol() on an unsigned value will return LONG_MAX =
  0x7fffffff for any fully specified masks.
o Masks are applied in reverse order, so a mask of 0xffffff00 will
  mask the most significant byte (/8) instead of the least significant
  byte (/24) as expected.
o Unnecessary (debug?) output seems to have been left behind

Has this patch been tested?

This PR can be closed. I've just filed ports/53807, which contains an
updated patch from the originator.

Thanks,
