To allow your engineers to snoop accounting data and figure out what the

As usual, we await your patches... ;^)
FWIW, I'd like to see a solid implementation of 802.1q, too. Including the
important but always overlooked stuff like per-VLAN arp tables, in case you
have a Sun sitting on two VLANs using the same MAC address on both, and
per-VLAN routing tables so you can have different VLANs with their own
unique internet connections.
I know, I know, we await my patches as well.
