I want to point out that the core team is definitely interested in reports of performance and/or security/dos weaknesses, as well as proposed solutions how to fix them. Thus, even if there are people arguing that we have been pointing out potential problems of the hash function or the overall conntrack implementation weeks/months ago, it still doesn't mean that there is no interest of having them fixed. The current problem seems to be that nobody has enough time to thoroughly debug any of those issues. So in the direction of Don this means: 1) we appreciate your reports 2) if you want this to be fixed soon, please do more detailed profiling in order to point out the code causing the problems 3) don't be discouraged if the overall response from the netfilter developers seems slow. For my part, I'm extremely busy right now, since I'm at the linux kernel summit together with other kernel subsystem maintainers, and I'm going to visit some two other conferences until mid-july. Apart from that, there's always the 'normal' maintaining and the long TODO list as well as the 2.5.x plans keeping me busy...
