.SH NAME
tcpbridge \- Bridge network traffic across two interfaces
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tcpbridge
.\" Mixture of short (flag) options and long options

All arguments must be options.
.PP
tcpbridge is a tool for selectively briding network traffic across two interfaces
and optionally modifying the packets in betweeen
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents, briefly, the \fBtcpbridge\fP command.
The basic operation of tcpbridge is to be a network bridge between two
subnets.  All packets received on one interface are sent via the other.

Optionally, packets can be edited in a variety of ways according to your needs.

For more details, please see the Tcpreplay Manual at:
http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/wiki/manual
.SH OPTIONS
.SS ""
.TP
.BR \-r " \fIstring\fP, " \--portmap "=" \fIstring\fP
Rewrite TCP/UDP ports.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
.sp
Specify a list of comma delimited port mappingings consisting of 
colon delimited port number pairs.  Each colon delimited port pair
consists of the port to match followed by the port number to rewrite.

Example:
.nf
    \--portmap=80:8000,8080:80
.fi
.TP
.BR \-s " \fInumber\fP, " \--seed "=" \fInumber\fP
Randomize src/dst IP addresses w/ given seed.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
.sp
Causes the source and destination IP addresses to be pseudo 
randomized but still maintain client/server relationships.
Since the randomization is deterministic based on the seed, 
you can reuse the same seed value to recreate the traffic.
.TP
.BR \-N " \fIstring\fP, " \--pnat "=" \fIstring\fP
Rewrite IP addresses using pseudo-NAT.
This option may appear up to 2 times.
This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options:
srcipmap.
.sp
Takes a comma delimited series of colon delimited CIDR
netblock pairs.  Each netblock pair is evaluated in order against
the IP addresses.  If the IP address in the packet matches the
first netblock, it is rewriten using the second netblock as a
mask against the high order bits.

Example:
.nf
    \--pnat=192.168.0.0/16:10.77.0.0/16,172.16.0.0/12:10.1.0.0/24
.fi
.TP
.BR \-S " \fIstring\fP, " \--srcipmap "=" \fIstring\fP
Rewrite source IP addresses using pseudo-NAT.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options:
pnat.
.sp
Works just like the \--pnat option, but only affects the source IP
addresses in the IPv4 header.
.TP
.BR \-D " \fIstring\fP, " \--dstipmap "=" \fIstring\fP
Rewrite destination IP addresses using pseudo-NAT.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options:
pnat.
.sp
Works just like the \--pnat option, but only affects the destination IP
addresses in the IPv4 header.
.TP
.BR \-e " \fIstring\fP, " \--endpoints "=" \fIstring\fP
Rewrite IP addresses to be between two endpoints.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option must appear in combination with the following options:
cachefile.
.sp
Takes a pair of colon delimited IP addresses which will be used to rewrite
all traffic to appear to be between the two IP's.

Example:
.nf
    \--endpoints=172.16.0.1:172.16.0.2
.fi
.TP
.BR \-b ", " \--skipbroadcast
Skip rewriting broadcast/multicast IP's.
.sp
By default \--seed, \--pnat and \--endpoints will rewrite 
broadcast and multicast IP and MAC addresses.	Setting this flag
will keep broadcast/multicast IP and MAC addresses from being rewritten.
.TP
.BR \-C ", " \--fixcsum
Force recalculation of IP/TCP/UDP checksums.
.sp
Causes each IP packet to have it's checksums recalcualted and
fixed.  Automatically enabled for packets modified with \fB--seed\fP, 
\fB--pnat\fP, \fB--endpoints\fP or \fB--fixlen\fP.
.TP
.BR \-m " \fInumber\fP, " \--mtu "=" \fInumber\fP
Override default MTU length (1500 bytes).
This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
The value of \fInumber\fP is constrained to being:
.in +4
.nf
.na
in the range  1 through MAXPACKET
.fi
.in -4
.sp
Override the default 1500 byte MTU size for determining the maximum padding length.
.TP
.BR \-E ", " \--efcs
Remove Ethernet checksums (FCS) from end of frames.
.sp
Note, this option is pretty dangerous!  We don't actually check to see if a FCS
actually exists in the frame, we just blindly delete the last two bytes.  Hence,
you should only use this if you know know that your OS provides the FCS when 
reading raw packets.
.TP
.BR \--ttl "=\fIstring\fP"
Modify the IPv4 TTL.
.sp
Allows you to modify the TTL of all the IPv4 packets.  Specify a number to hard-code
the value or +/-value to increase or decrease by the value provided (limited to 1-255).    

Examples:
.nf
    \--ttl=10
    \--ttl=+7
    \--ttl=-64
.fi
.TP
.BR \-F " \fIstring\fP, " \--fixlen "=" \fIstring\fP
Pad or truncate packet data to match header length.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
.sp
Packets may be truncated during capture if the snaplen is smaller then the
packet.  This option allows you to modify the packet to pad the packet back
out to the size stored in the IPv4 header or rewrite the IP header total length
to reflect the stored packet length.
.sp 1
\fBpad\fP
Truncated packets will be padded out so that the packet length matches the 
IPv4 total length
.sp 1
\fBtrunc\fP
Truncated packets will have their IPv4 total length field rewritten to match
the actual packet length
.sp 1
\fBdel\fP
Delete the packet
.TP
.BR \--skipl2broadcast
Skip rewriting broadcast/multicast Layer 2 addresses.
.sp
By default, editing Layer 2 addresses will rewrite 
broadcast and multicast MAC addresses.	Setting this flag
will keep broadcast/multicast MAC addresses from being rewritten.
.TP
.BR \--dlt "=\fIstring\fP"
Override output DLT encapsulation.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
.sp
By default, no DLT (data link type) conversion will be made.  
To change the DLT type of the output pcap, select one of the following values:
.sp 1
\fBenet\fP
Ethernet aka DLT_EN10MB
.sp 1
\fBhdlc\fP
Cisco HDLC aka DLT_C_HDLC
.sp 1
\fBuser\fP
User specified Layer 2 header and DLT type
.br
.TP
.BR \--enet-dmac "=\fIstring\fP"
Override destination ethernet MAC addresses.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
.sp
Takes a pair of comma deliminated ethernet MAC addresses which
will replace the destination MAC address of outbound packets.
The first MAC address will be used for the server to client traffic
and the optional second MAC address will be used for the client
to server traffic.

Example:
.nf
    \--enet-dmac=00:12:13:14:15:16,00:22:33:44:55:66
.fi
.TP
.BR \--enet-smac "=\fIstring\fP"

.sp
When enabling verbose mode (\fB-v\fP) you may also specify one or more
additional  arguments to pass to \fBtcpdump\fP to modify the way packets
are decoded.  By default, \-n and \-l are used.   Be  sure  to
quote the arguments like: \--verbose="-axxx" so that they are not interpreted
by tcpbridge.  The following arguments are vaild:
    [ \-aAeNqRStuvxX ]
    [ \-E spi@ipaddr algo:secret,... ]
    [ \-s snaplen ]

.BR \- " [\fIrcfile\fP]," " \--save-opts" "[=\fIrcfile\fP]"
Save the option state to \fIrcfile\fP.  The default is the \fIlast\fP
configuration file listed in the \fBOPTION PRESETS\fP section, below.
.TP
.BR \- " \fIrcfile\fP," " \--load-opts" "=\fIrcfile\fP," " \--no-load-opts"
Load options from \fIrcfile\fP.
The \fIno-load-opts\fP form will disable the loading
of earlier RC/INI files.  \fI--no-load-opts\fP is handled early,
out of order.
.SH OPTION PRESETS
Any option that is not marked as \fInot presettable\fP may be preset
by loading values from configuration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s).
The \fIhomerc\fP file is "\fI$$/\fP", unless that is a directory.
In that case, the file "\fI.tcpbridgerc\fP"
is searched for within that directory.
.SH "SIGNALS"
tcpbridge understands the following signals:
.sp
.IR "\fBSIGUSR1\fP"
Suspend tcpbridge
.sp
.IR "\fBSIGCONT\fP"
Restart tcpbridge
.br

.SH "SEE ALSO"
tcpdump(1), tcpprep(1), tcprewrite(1), tcpreplay(1)

.SH "BUGS"
tcpbridge can only send packets as fast as your computer's interface,
processor and system bus will allow.

Connecting both interfaces to the same subnet may create a broadcast storm and
take down the network.  Improper use of the packet editing functions may have 
other undefined and possible negative consequences.

Some operating systems by default do not allow for forging source MAC
addresses.  Please consult your operating system's documentation and the
tcpreplay FAQ if you experiance this issue.
