Yes, please, this is important, we need slirp's maintainer to help reviewing the COLO proxy
patches that will be implemented based on slirp. (If we finally come to an agreement on realizing it in qemu)

We also need to support ipv6 for slirp, i have emailed Samuel who have sent ipv6 patches for slirp before,
but got no response. (I would like to respin and test Samuel's ipv6 slirp patch if he don't have time to do this,
but firstly, i need to get his permission ：） ）
