Hi, I think it's time to extend the mbuf pkthdr a little. I need a couple of fields for ipv6 header parsing w/ RSS and netisr; hps/mellanox want to use fields for opaque socket / session ids for rate limiting; I'm sure chelsio and such would love to be able to stamp buffers with an opaque id for RX zero-copy offload, etc. So, who's up for it? I'd like to get it extended and in -HEAD sooner rather than later so we can stop squabbling over unused bits and mis-understood fields in the mbuf. Thanks! -adrian
