dont loose packages

[Oguz Yarimtepe]

Hi,

I am trying to write a program that will work on a machine which is
between a client and a server. What i want is to simulate the bridging
process. So the program should take the packages and able to send them
to the other interface. I dont want to loose package and i want
efficiency. I tried to write a program in a multithreaded way but i
couldnt get an effciency. I used scapy and its sniff method to sniff
packages.

I am not sure the right way to solve the problem with Python. I will be
happy if you help me with your ideas?

Okay, you just want to simulate? For efficiency, you'd best use
kernel packet filtering, e. g. netfilter (for GNU/Linux).

I tried to write a program in a multithreaded way

Why? There isn't even any concurrency, just reading and writing
packets in a linear fashion.

I think the most direct way would be using raw sockets. You could
need to have root/administrator privileges.
