Hi! The flowid value has way, way too many possible meanings but it's always been a mostly-static value. I'm worried about overriding it with multiple meanings that cause features to not work at all together. So I'd rather leave the flowid/flowtype as it currently is so it doesn't upset packet re

Hi, I'm working on a new feature which will allow TCP connections to be timing controlled by the ethernet hardware driver, actually the mlxen driver. The main missing piece in the kernel is to allow the mbuf's flowid value to be overwritten in "struct inpcb" once the connection is established
