Can someone please enlighten me..?

What is netgraph and what does it allow you to do..?
I've read some of the man pages but am still unsure as to how it should be
used
and for what purposes/problems. I'm guessing it has something to do with
graph's
:-) and routing and that sort of stuff, but this is only a guess...

There's a fine article in IIRC daemonnews that explains it.

There you go.

You can do Funky Stuff with netgraph, but do read the article, it has
nice examples. ``The average user'' only needs it for PPPoE, and then
ppp(8) takes care of all the details.
