MAX_LINKS > 32 would result in larger statically allocated pointer arrays. It would also only work if NPROTO is increased too, IIRC. I strongly disrecommend increasing NPROTO. Maybe we should look into reusing NETLINK_FIREWALL (which was an old 2.2.x kernel interface). But to be honest, I don't really care all that much as long as existing and still very actively used values are not just overloaded. -- - Harald Welte <[email protected]> http://netfilter.org/ ============================================================================ "Fragmentation is like classful addressing -- an interesting early architectural error that shows how much experimentation was going on while IP was being designed." -- Paul Vixie
