But I, after two days of discussion, I must say another thing: WHERE ARE TESTERS ?! You all are wanting this node to be included into FreeBSD src tree, so that it will be available in standard distribution. But before this code should be tested and bugs fixed, if any. And I don't yet see any success stories / bug reports ! >> P.S. Here is quick-and-dirty primer how to convert ipp2p functions to >> ng_bpf(4) input expression for tcpdump(1).

Good idea, but still to be worked for more P2P types examples, and BPF assembly language explanation, as I suspect some things can't be done but tcpdump expressions, though still possible on ng_bpf. Unfortunatelly I do not have much time for this. -- WBR, Vadim Goncharov
