I also record stats for pkts i receive using a tc action drop. Very simple and works great. Ben, you keep insisting on doing this hook (every 3 months) because you dont want to invest time to do it with netlink (I thought you sold this as part of your product - the investment of your time is really not that high). If you tell me what the packet trigger is, I will send you a script ;-> Robert, I have started writing some generic netlink messaging to replace the /proc that i will send your way. I need to get consensus on some tunnel-mode IPSEC patches first then i will send the about three patchsets your way (to replace the old ones i sent earlier). cheers, jamal
