We are working on changes to do this trick in a variety of our deamons and in our kernel; precognition means that we can identify an upcoming period when such packets will come in -- packets which would defragment and subsequently arrange themselves into an attack above the socket layer. since we can precognitively pre-identify the risk, we can drop them right on the ethernet card and avoid even having them dma into memory! Well, we have only parts of this working in the tree. A few pieces are still missing, but Austin is trying a prototype of the algoritms and heuristics in his shipping operation.
