Best would be if a refactored uml_switch exported an >interface that replaced daemon_user.c :-) It would be useful if daemon_user.c could be run in a synchronous mode such that packets are guaranteed delivered to the switch and guaranteed delivered to a host. The switch could then mangle packets in a deterministic fashion for testing. It would also be interesting if packets could be passed in shared memory. I'm wondering if it would be faster and more reliable at the same time.
