Hello Kip,

I had looked flowtable code briefly and still not sure whether I
understand it correctly.  At this moment I have a question.

Is it possible to apply flowtable techniques for forwarding packets?  If
I understand it right it looks it's impossible at current status because
flowtable is only applied when ro == NULL at ip_output().  Is it
intentional one?

Regards,
Weongyo Jeong
