Sucess report:

Unpatched kernel              : A lot of DROPs
Patched kernel (SACK support) : _No_ DROPs which are illicit drops.

I've run the new packet filter for 16 hours and I am now evaluating 1.2Gbytes of 
logfiles. So far it looks good. It has cured the obvious problems I've had with 
the initial tcp window tracking patch.

I see now however, that there is still one open report from Brian.

Thanks,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
