This is really interesting!
One of the concepts i liked in SYSV (ducking for cover) was streams and
its ability to chain together modules to process a datastream.
If it's coupled with kld to dynamically load/unload modules i think
you have something _very_ good.

That network thing. Can a module route a package thru different modules
based on contents and state?
