| The API is being redesigned in pkttables.

Is there documentation for the new API available?

Interesting list. Nice to see many that useful matches will be merged...

Some question:

~ 1. "TTL or HOPLIMIT: no, it's dangerous"

~    Why? Don't use it, if it's dangerous - or does it crash the kernel?

~ 2. "ipp2p: like string matching, stays in POM"

~    Did not found the "string" match comment. Does it stay here forever?
