Hello Jamal,
[took out AK und DaveM since I know they both read netdev and this reply
is not really of any relevance to them]
It would be nice if people would start ccing networking related
discussions to netdev. I missed the first part of the discussion
but i take it the NF-HIPAC posted a patch.. BTW, I emailed the authors
Yes, your assumption is correct and sorry for missing the cc once again.
when i read the paper but never heard back.
What i wanted the authors was to compare against one of the tc
classifiers not iptables.
I will contact you privately on this issue since I'm about to conduct
tests this weekend.
I hacked some code using the traffic control framework around OLS time;
there are a lot of ideas i havent incorporated yet. Too many hacks, too
little time ;-> I think this is what i may have showed Roberto on my
laptop over a drink.
Exactly (even wearing a netfilter T-shirt).
I probably wouldnt have put this code out if my complaints about
netfilter werent ignored.
And you know what happens when you start writting poetry, I ended worrying
more than just about the performance problems of iptables; for example
the code i have now makes it easy to extend the path a packet takes using
simple policies.
Great, I remember some of your postings about the netfilter framework.
The code i have is based around tc framework. One thing i liked about
netfilter is the idea of targets being separate modules; so the code i
have infact makes uses of netfilter targets.
I plan on revisiting this code at some point, maybe this weekend now that
i am reminded of it ;->
Excellent, this could make it into my test suites as well.
Take a look:

I did, I simply didn't find the time to do it.
Agreed, you need a netlink to syslog converter.
Netlink is king -- all the policies in the above code are netlink
controlled. All events are also netlink transported. You dont have to send
every little message you see; netlink allows you to batch and you could
easily do a nagle like algorithm. Next steps are a distributed version
of netlink..
Is there a code architecture draft somewhere?
Best regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
