Well put. :)
If you farm it out to a low cost dedicated device it's not costing you
CPU cycles on your work computer.
MAC address spoofing gets around the issue of source MAC address from
a DECnet stack.
pcap gets around finding incoming packets that are fror your DECnet stack.
What issues remain that stop you using a non-kernel solution?
My only concern now is if the stack has to run as root how do
non-privileged ysers use it?
Howabout starting it as a daemon (running as root) via the boot
scripts, and have non-root users's programs access it via a socket?
