newbie question

[dalgin]

Can I use Winpkfltr to look at the ip header and make a decision on to drop/forward the packet?

Basically I would like to have a function:
int drop_forward(sourceip, sourceport, destip, destport);

This function should be able to drop or forward the packet based on some criteria. But here is the problem:
I dont want to drop all packets going to certain ip and port. For the same ip and port, I only want to drop say 10% of the packets and for some other ip/port, drop 20% of the packets.

Can I achieve this using winpkfilter?

IF so, can you give me some hints?

Thank you very much.

Yes. You can take PassThru sample as a base. If you decide to drop the packet just don’t reinject it into the stack (by calling SendPacketToAdapter or SendPacketToMstcp).

You can use kind of random generator, like C run time rand() routine.

An example, 20% chance of drop may look like:
if (rand() < RAND_MAX/5) bDrop = TRUE;
