Hi,

Packet bricks is a Linux/FreeBSD networking tool that can be used  
to load balance or duplicate ingress traffic across applications and/or  
clusters. Packet bricks uses netmap I/O module for capturing traffic and  
netmap pipes to forward packets to target applications.

The experimental version of packet-bricks is now available on  
github ([https://github.com/bro/packet-bricks](https://github.com/bro/packet-bricks)). You can find more  
details in the README file. Please email any feedback or bug reports  
to [ajamshed@icsi.berkeley.edu](mailto:ajamshed@icsi.berkeley.edu)

Thanks,  
—Asim
