[LARTC] Contact for iptables-extension "ipp2p"?

[Michael Renzmann]

Hi all.

I remember someone in here was at least affiliated with the above 
mentioned ipp2p-project (an extension to iptables that allows to match 
peer-to-peer traffic). About two weeks ago I tried to contact the author 
of this extension via the address that is mentioned on the project 
website, since I wanted to send in a patch, but with no success. At 
least I didn't receive a reply.

Question: is the contact address that is mentioned on the project 
website still correct? If not, who should I contact?

Bye, Mike

I added (experimental) support for IPP2P recently to my Fair NAT script.
However, I also found two other projects which are pretty much capable of 
the same thing: iptables-p2p and l7-filter (both on Sourceforge). However, 
I haven't had the time for a closer look yet, so I don't know if they are 
any good.

No idea - but not everyone reads his/her mail every day, so you probably 
should be more patient. Two weeks is not much time, especially if the 
author has to review a patch you wrote. I file some bug reports here and 
there (which should be read by more than one person only) and even there 
it sometimes takes months until I get a reply.

I also found them before choosing ipp2p. But l7-filter is for kernel 2.6 
only, and iptables-p2p seemed to be idle. So I decided to use ipp2p.

I know that people might be quite busy - I have the same problem. I was 
just wondering if I took the wrong e-mail address, since answers to 
questions regarding ipp2p here on the list have been answered very 
quickly as far as I remember. Well, didn't meant to cause any trouble - 
just been curious. :)

Bye, Mike
