Exactly why I look forward to getting this in-tree. Jeremy Kerr and I wrote nfsim back in 2005(!) which stubbed around the netfilter infrastructure; with failtest and valgrind it found some nasty bugs. It was too much hassle to maintain out-of-tree though :( I look forward to a flood of great bugfixes from this work :) Cheers, Rusty.
