285What: frame diverter
286When: November 2006
287Why: The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is
288 broken. It does not correctly handle many things:
289 - IPV6
290 - non-linear skb's
291 - network device RCU on removal
292 - input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors
293 It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled.
294 It is not clear if anyone is still using it.
