Re: MFC requests for 6.3

I would like to request that some useful work on networking be MFCed

which have seen extensive development brought in -- ng_nat and ng_car in
particular. Bringing in the latest version of ng_nat would allow more
flexible in-kernel NAT, while ng_car (which doesn't seem to be in
6-STABLE at all) would allow burstable traffic shaping -- something that
DUMMYNET doesn't have. The latest version of mpd wouldn't be fully
usable unless these and other Netgraph code that was developed for it
are there....

Hello Brett,

ng_nat is part of 6-STABLE and maybe Alexander(mav@) would
like to bring in ng_car as well. Don't know the MFC policies
or other possible difficulties. Let him know of your request.
