That&#x27;s exactly the idea behind packet bricks (see other comment): you have one single tool that takes all the packets directly from the NIC (say eth0) and then exposes them according to your bricks configuration to a bunch of other interfaces (eth0}0, etho0}1, etc.). Very similar to Click. This layer of indirection obviates the need for shared NIC access, which is what CloudFlare works around in a more cumbersome way.
