  I can repost it if you like. 
  Give me a day to find my patches again.

  uml_netjig is a tool which does the following:
  
  1) moves packets using "daemon" mode a la uml_switch.
  2) has an expect-friendly command line interface 
  3) can create *multiple* switches and keep them seperate
  4) can record all packets to a .pcap file
  5) can play packets from a .pcap file at a given rate 
     (or under command line interface control)
  6) can optionally answer ARP queries for imaginary nodes.
  7) can talk to tuntap device(s) as uml_switch could.

  My patches refactor uml_switch to get uml_netjig + uml_switch'

  Please tell me what your code does...

    Blaisorblade> Steve, merging at least the earlier of your patches

  I have a lot of refactoring patches.
  I am willing to spend the time getting consensus among people who
have done other things, and integrating their patches with mine.

  See http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/SSW/freeswan/fsumltesting/
for an OLS paper on how uml_netjig was (and continues to be) used.
  We invoke about 170 tests every night on the Openswan code base.
some use as many as 7 UMLs connected via uml_netjig to get the job
done.
