good idea ...
general memory block transformation routines :) just like C++ STL generic algorithm applying interface ...
struct transformation_module{ ... }; struct transformation_applying_point{ ... }; struct transformation_applying_ruleset{ ... }; ... transform(skb,transformation_algo,transformation_data); ... if (device_output_queue->transformations_list) apply_transformations ( TRANSFORM_SKB_AT_DEVICE_OUTPUT_QUEUE, (void*)skb, device_output_queue->transformations_list );
for justification, there could be an reference rot13 transformation module :) or even more innocent - byteorder swaping transformation :)
I feel I am been missing possibility for rot13 transformation of all IP packets for longer.
