Hi Experts,


I know there are replacements for KAUTH, socket and IP filters in system extension according to https://developer.apple.com/support/kernel-extensions/.


Could you please share with me the replacement for interface filters in the network extension? thanks.

Take a look at NetworkExtension filter packet providers (

NEFilterPacketProvider
). The 
NEFilterPacketHandler
callback is given both the interface (via the 
interface
parameter) and the link-level header (at the start of the buffer pointed to be 
packetBytes
).
