Hi,

I was wondering if how we can set some user specified values when we 
punt a packet from source to destination in a infrastructure which uses 
netfilter? More precisely at the source side so that when packet reaches 
destination host, it can decode the metadata values.
Is their a way out? Any pointer/link would be appreciated.

Regards
Vikas
