X-Subversion: anarchy bomb crypto drug explosive fission gun nuclear sex terror Organization: rows-n-columns Date: 19 Apr 2001 14:15:56 +1000 User-Agent: Gnus/5.0803 (Gnus v5.8.3) XEmacs/21.1 (Bryce Canyon) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Through the stimulating discussion we had under ``IP Acounting Idea for 2.5'', it appears that a separate Traffic Flow Measure- ment and Accounting sub-system would be useful. See: If anybody is working on Real Time Traffic Flow Measurement (RTFM) please reply. I would also like to know if there are any objections to providing a RTFM interface in the kernel (as an optional module). FYI: Considerable work has already been done on RTFM in general and for other systems: Relevant RFCs include: 2720 ... 2724 Thanks -- Manfred Bartz
