Probably with little modification. The LSF attaches to any socket and
adheres to the same filter code specifications as the BPF. Just the method
of where the data gets filtered is a bit different. LSF is also alog
simpler to start a filter and shutdown a filter.
If you need more information I would be happy to let you know more.
