What are SKIP-packets? Relevant persons for this are Archie Cobbs <archie@whistle.com> - added divert to ipfw originally (if I remember correctly - it may have been Julian <julian@whistle.com> too) Ari Suutari <ari.suutari@ps.carel.fi> - original natd author Charles Mott <cmott@srv.net> - wrote the packet-aliasing engine (probably most relevant) Brian Somers <brian@freebsd.org> - brought natd into FreeBSD and is maintaining that and libalias. and Yours Truly, who've done some reorganisation of the aliasing code and did the IRC DCC-support (minor stuff, both of those), and thus should be able to solve the problem. Unfortuneatly, I haven't got a clue what a SKIP-packet is, and I haven't been able to find the term in either Stevens, Halsall, or what RFC I thought would be relevant. Any references to what these packets actually are? Eivind.
