Subject: Presentation Layer in TCP/IP linux implementation

Hello Linux World,

Is there a way to add a generic and transparent presenation layer in the
path of TCP/IP packets. I am speaking about something probably in the
path between the user space mechanims (send/recv/read/write) and the
actual sock_sendmsg/sock_recvmsg (and their proto counterparts).

Thanks for all replies.

Best regards

Khaled

In User mode you can use a dynamically pre-loaded lib, like socks is doing.
