276What: frame diverter
277When: November 2006
278Why: The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is
279 broken. It does not correctly handle many things:
280 - IPV6
281 - non-linear skb's
282 - network device RCU on removal
283 - input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors
284 It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled.
285 It is not clear if anyone is still using it.
