RE: [squid-users] squid with wccp on solaris

I got the gre kernel module from oops and loaded it on my solaris box,
still, it's not working.

Has anyone successfully made this work on solaris? I have searched the web
for several days and I haven't seen anyone claiming it's working on solaris.
Maybe I have to switch to linux for this.

Have you loaded the WCCP kernel module?

There is a WCCP kernel module for Solaris in the Oops proxy source tree I
think.

The WCCP kernel module is responsible for decapsulating the WCCP/GRE
packets the WCCP router encapsulates the redirected traffic within. If you
do not have this your proxy server box will know nothing about what the
packets redirected to it by the router is.

In addition to the WCCP kernel module you also need interception rules to
intercept the packets once decapsulated and have them delivered to the
proxy port. This is the job of ip-filter in a Solaris WCCP setup.
