Hello,
I'm using the DIVERT socket API for a proof of concept lab setup here,
and I could use some help..
Two boxes are involved, packets traverse both in series. The first one,
lets call her A, is taking the UDP packet off the wire, inserts a few
bytes after the UDP header, and sticks it back on the wire. The second
machine, lets call her B, grabs the packet as it comes in, strips the
bytes we inserted, and sticks it back on the wire.
Or so goes the theory.
What I'm running into is the following.. When I sendto() the modified
frame on A, the size is correctly reported as what the frame was
modified to be. When the frame arrives on B, I only recvfrom() as many
bytes as the virgin packet used to be when it entered A prior to the
modification.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here and how to fix this length
mismatch? I thought the API updates the length when the frame is sent,
and sendto() does report the correct length..
I apologize for being so exceptionally dense, this is driving me
completely up the walls..
Regards,
Christian
