Could someone please spell out exactly what this provider is trying
to do? SDT probes  can provide of the above info. So why do we need
a new provider for this? As Kacheong asked, what are the guidelines
for new providers, vs usage of existing probes.

I thought the argument being made was to only support protocol/states
defined in RFCs (rfc793 was touted as the example). So would that
not exclude ipf?
