Thanks Eric. Please, hold it on. I don't see the point of consuming 8 extra byte in every extra destroy message. You have tons of resources in userspace to implement whatever performance structure to store the conntrackd but we do have limited bandwidth in netlink. Instead we may dump the id but I don't support this option either. -- "Los honestos son inadaptados sociales" -- Les Luthiers
