The DAQ replaces direct calls to PCAP functions +with an abstraction layer that facilitates operation on a variety +of hardware and software interfaces without requiring changes +to Snort. It is possible to select the DAQ type and mode +when invoking Snort to perform PCAP readback or inline operation, etc. + +The DAQ library may be useful for other packet processing applications +and the modular nature allows you to build new modules for other +platforms. + +WWW: http://www.snort.org/ |
