We've released the SIFTR (Statistical Information For TCP Research) code under a BSD licence, and hope some of you may find it useful. It's a tool mostly aimed at the TCP research community, but perhaps someone out there might find another use for all or part of the code. We've also made a technical report available that documents what we learnt whilst transitioning from noob kernel hackers to guys that have a (partial) clue. The report is certainly a useful reference for us and people working at our research centre. We hope it will also be a useful reference for the community to point people at who are new to kernel hacking. The report's title is "An Introduction to FreeBSD 6 Kernel Hacking" and has been released as Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures Technical Report 070622A. The code distributions and technical report can be grabbed from http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/newtcp/ under the "Tools" and "Papers" sections respectively. If you find a use for the code or any bugs in the code/documentation, we'd be very happy to hear from you. Cheers, Lawrence
