Ethernet Frame Diverter
Ethernet Frame Diverter is mainly used for setting up a bridge with Squid running on it and transparently caching the Web traffic between the LAN and the router. "Transparent" means that no reconfiguration of the router or the clients is required. It also means that, in case of trouble, the machine can be replaced by a simple crossover RJ45 patch cord.
