I haven't really been following this unfortunately but I see at least part got done. (ifconfig) is there anything we need to do before 9.0 that is small but would make a big difference? (i.e. fixes, tweaks) Julian One thing that I haven't done and I only recently remembered, was the ability to have a socket inherit it's fib from the incoming connection SYN instead of from the socket opening process. (at least I am pretty sure I never got that done.
