Progress iptables, mangling and all

As described in my last post, i have been trying to get a fully working twice-nat with dns-alg setup.

I finally chose lubuntu (LXDE ubuntu ) as the operating system. puppy is b.s ,so is dsl. both have major problems during installation and package updates.

So, finally after wasting like 2 days on getting the right distro, was on track. Then I shifted my focus to selecting the real platform which the experiments should be carried out on. I mailed two profs, and both of them seem to be more leaning towards the DETER testbed , it supports dynamic configuration of network ,measurements etc.

It appears to be a better lead then eg.planet lab.

Lets see, right now, this iptable,netfilter stuff seems incredibly vast, lets see if i get lucky and find a simple tut.

meanwhile ima already hittin on server fault and stackchange websites.



Lets see how it goes, I am planning to complete everything by April mid. So, if I get to defend by say eg. June, then Ima all set damit!.

Only two major things of my life remain ,and they choose where I go, lets see if given a choice as dire as this, am I able to propel myself to achieve it.

Dash!
