This is my iptables match module for analyzing IPTV MPEG2/TS streams.
Currently it only detects dropped packets, but I want to extend it for
analyzing jitter and bursts.
This adds a "CHECKSUM" target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
table.
You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in a packet
that lacks a checksum. This is particularly useful, if you need to work
around old applications such as dhcp clients, that do not work well with
checksum offloads, but don't want to disable checksum offload in your
device.
The problem happens in the field with virtualized applications. For
reference, see Red Hat bz 605555, as well as

Because we are likely to be having more userspace programs soon, and
reproducing manual makefiles is a bad idea, make extensions/ ready
for automake traversal. The build pattern now is:
1. toplevel Makefile.am starts off with extensions/Makefile.am
2. Makefile.am
a. builds programs in current directory
b. runs Kbuild
- only from extensions/Makefile.am
(so it does not get reinvoked from case 2cII)
- Kbuild recurses on its own
c. runs Mbuild
I. builds iptables shared libraries in current directory
II. runs Makefile.am in each subdir (goto step 2.)
This revision 1 of ipv4options makes it possible to match the
presence or absence of any of the 32 possible IP options, either all
or any of the options the user specified.
The extension modules use the API of a fairly recent kernel, if not
even the networking git tree. To make it work with older Linux
kernels, an API wrapper is added. Should compile against
running-kernels Linux 2.6.19..current (tested: 2.6.22..current).

Populate the iptables-addons repository with two modules, xt_TARPIT
and xt_TEE, as a starting point.
