Hello,
During my search about Graduation Project Ideas I found an idea about Virtual Router
I know that there exist a virtual router in windows7 and it works well but when searching about virtual router
in Linux i found the following:
"In Linux there is a Kernel level router but on configuring in kernel level will cause some curious problems so we can do software router in user level"
I've no experience in Linux so, i want to understand the nature of these problems???
and what is the different between kernel level and user level ???
and is it a beneficial idea to develop a virtual router working in Linux in a user level??

It would help if you told us where that quote came from. Already, the grammar doesn't fill me with confidence.

As does the fact that I've been using kernel-level routing (via IP forward) on my production servers since about 1996 with no problems. Not to mention the IPtables-based routing that my VMs have been using for around 3 years or so.

One of the most odious afflictions that Business has inflicted on the modern English language is "pro-active". Most of the time it's simply redundantly used in place of the simple old word "active". And a good deal of the rest of the time it means "You're not overworked enough yet, so go out and find more!"

Yeah, I have two servers in production that use iptables to run Tomcat on port 80 as non-root; they're been running forever.
