230What: frame diverter
231When: November 2006
232Why: The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is
233 broken. It does not correctly handle many things:
234 - IPV6
235 - non-linear skb's
236 - network device RCU on removal
237 - input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors
238 It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled.
239 It is not clear if anyone is still using it.
