  Hi, after reading the design document, I got couple of questions.
  Please kindly correct me if some of these questions are not even applicable.
  From what I understand, there is only one callback can register with a 
particular
  hook at any time. Is original ipf filtering function counted in this "one 
hook" 
  constraint? And if multiple vendors wants to hook at the same point, how do 
  these filters get chained together? Or this is not the intended use-case?

  From the document, there isn't a section about framework support for these 
  hook callbacks. Does the ipf framework provide function/data structure for 
the 
  hook callback to decide whether or not a packet is allowed? If hook callback 
is 
  responsible for configuring itself, how does it cooperate with original 
ipf.conf?
  And, is the original best match ipf.conf behaviour still maintained? This 
best 
  match behaviour is far better than netfilter first match one, IMHO.

  Thanks,
  Ivan.
