The summary can | be found in the workshop notes available in the documentation section of | the web site. 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?
