PFC(1) General Commands Manual PFC(1)NAME
pfc - active precompiled filters generator
SYNOPSIS
pfc <expression> >/etc/ppp/your.active.filter
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pfc command.
pfc is the Precompiled Filter Compiler - a tool to generate "active precompiled filters". If your pppd supports this feature, you can use
this utility to generate the filter files. The Active Filter allows a connect on demand pppd to determine what is 'interesting' traffic,
and then initiate the PPP session. The tool allows you to create the filters, in libpcap format, for use by pppd. Common filters are used
to ignore traffic (ie: ntp, various protocol keepalives, etc...) so PPP sessions are not initiated until 'real' traffic requires them.
Note that the generated compiled filter expression is specific to point-to-point links, and differs from the format generated by tcpdump
-ddd.
(specify precompiled-active-filter=/etc/ppp/your.active.filter in the ppp options file)
EXAMPLE
/usr/bin/pfc ntp and ldap > /etc/ppp/your.active.filter

pfc is from the FLoppy Isdn 4 Linux project - see http://www.fli4l.de/en/home/news/

PPP(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual PPP(4)NAME
ppp -- point to point protocol network interface
SYNOPSIS
options PPP_BSDCOMP
options PPP_DEFLATE
options PPP_FILTER
pseudo-device ppp
DESCRIPTION
The ppp interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). The ppp interface can use
various types of compression and has many features over the SLIP protocol used by the sl(4) interface.
Supported options are:
options PPP_BSDCOMP Enable support for BSD-compress (`bsdcomp') compression in ppp.
options PPP_DEFLATE Enable support for deflate compression in ppp.
options PPP_FILTER This option turns on pcap(3) based filtering for ppp connections. This option is used by pppd(8) which needs to be
compiled with PPP_FILTER defined (the current default).
DIAGNOSTICS
ppp%d: af%d not supported . The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
dropped.

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), RFC 1661, July 1994.
HISTORY
The ppp device appeared in NetBSD 1.0.
BUGS
Currently, only the ip(4) and ip6(4) protocols are supported.

Hi,
Is there a precompiled binary for Solaris 8 available?
I need to bench mark our Oracle server,

Both are fully loaded.
I can't find a sun machine that I can compile the software on.
