The nss-drv driver is open sourced but we are currently not planning to upstream to linux kernel yet because we are still actively adding new features https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/qsdk/oss/lklm/nss-drv > Thanks for the description, this sounds very interesting indeed.

We have a connection manager monitoring conntrack events and creates rules then send it through the interface built in nss-drv.
