[Ntop-dev] white/Black List

[Burton Strauss III]

Local addresses are, well, local addresses based on the NIC's IP address and
mask.

 

Psuedo Local Addresses are either local addresses or addresses which you
told ntop to TREAT as local via the local subnets parameter.

 

There is an FAQ article on this, albeit not at the code level.

Subject: [Ntop-dev] white/Black List

 

Hi all,

     I am working on white/black list and trying to understand some part of
the ntop code in netflowplugin.c & util.c. 

     There is a function in the netflowplugin.c which calls
isOKtoSave(ntohl(record->srcaddr),
 
myGlobals.device[deviceId].netflowGlobals->whiteNetworks,
 
myGlobals.device[deviceId].netflowGlobals->blackNetworks,
 
myGlobals.device[deviceId].netflowGlobals->numWhiteNets,
 
myGlobals.device[deviceId].netflowGlobals->numBlackNets)) 

   the isOKtoSave in util.c calls  __pseudoLocalAddress(&workAddr,
blackNetworks, numBlackNets, NULL, NULL);

   My question is what is  __pseudoLocalAddress() functionality and what it
is doing ? Can come one please explain ?

 Thanks
 -Muru
