This tutorial is for aspiring or seasoned networkprofessionals w ith at least a basic knowledge of networking in generaland TCP/IP particula r. The session aims at teaching tools andtechniques to make sure you build your network to work the way it'ssupposed to\, keeping you in charge. Cen tral to the toolbox is theOpenBSD PF packet filter\, supplemented with tool s that interact withit. Whether you are a greybeard looking for ways to op timize yoursetups or a greenhorn just starting out\, this session will give youvaluable insight into the inner life of your network and providepointer s to how to use that knowledge to build the network you need.The session wi ll also offer some fresh information on changesintroduced in OpenBSD 4.5\, the most recent version of PF and OpenBSD.The tutorial is loosely based on Hansteen's recent book\, /The Book ofPF/ (No Starch Press)\, with updates a nd adaptations based ondevelopments since the book's publication date.

Testing cannot effic ientlybe performed on the same host as development\, as a crash woulddisrup t the development effort. Instead of performing testing on the development host\, multiple classic ways of making testing anddebugging less tedious a re available. An emulator or usermode OScan be used for testing without re quiring a full machine. However\,triggering some code paths might be tedio us\, since the integrityof the entire operating system must be preserved or a crash innon-relevant code will bring the entire development operation to a halt. A much more surgical approach is to do algorithm developmentas a u serspace application. However\, this means rewriting parts of the kernel functionality to use userspace interfaces.We argue that often the best appr oach for kernel development isusing the kernel as a userspace application l ibrary. This brings the benefits of being able to very precisely control w hat parts ofthe code are being executed while still preserving the use of k ernelinterfaces. The implementation under test remains isolated fromthe ho st OS in the sense of an application process\, so errors cannotbring the de velopment host down.

However\, there are a few problems that are not easily solved with the current design. These problems include having "real" devic e drivers for low-level hardware such as clocks and interrupt controllers\, proper resource discovery and management\, and allowing most drivers to al ways probe and attach in an environment where interrupts are enabled. I pr opose extending the device driver framework to support multiple passes over the device tree during boot. This would allow certain classes of drivers to be attached earlier and perform boot-time setup before other drivers are probed and attached. This in turn can be used to develop solutions to the earlier list of problems.
