Disclosed are a method and apparatus for passing a data packet from a first network to a second network at a kernel level. According to one illustrative embodiment, this is accomplished by receiving a data packet from a first network, storing the data packet in a kernel-space buffer, determining if the data packet needs to be directly passed to the second network and directing the data packet from the kernel-space buffer to the second network when the data packet needs to be directly passed to the second network.
