With this patch, you can change the scheduler policy and priority
for conntrackd. Using a RT scheduler policy reduces the chances to
hit ENOBUFS in Netlink.

This patch obsoletes the `ListenTo' clause which is a reminiscent

This patch obsoletes `-s multicast' by `-s link' to display the
dedicated link statistics, as the current dedicated link protocol
use can be unicast UDP or multicast. The term "link" is more
generic.

This patch adds support for unicast UDP to the channel
infrastructure. With this patch, you can select UDP unicast to
propagate state-changes instead of multicast.

This patch reworks conntrackd to make it independent of the protocol
used to propagate state-changes. This patch adds the channel layer
abstraction, this layer allows you to add support for different
protocols like unicast UDP or TIPC.

This patch renames the mcast_iface to interface since this nlif
handler is not related with multicast itself, but to monitor the
link interface used to propagate state-changes. This patch is a
cleanup.

This patch removes the use of NFCT_DIR_MAX. This constant is part of
the old libnetfilter_conntrack API which has been removed from the
git tree. It was introduced in the early days of conntrackd, thus,
the use of this constant. Unfortunately, I did not notice until now.

This patch allows flushing the internal and/or the external cache.
The `-f' with no extra parameters still works to flush both the
internal and the external cache.

This patch adds NetlinkOverrunResync. This option can be used to
set the amount of time after which the daemon resynchronizes itself
with the kernel state-table if it detects a Netlink overrun.

This patch improves the polling support included in 0.9.10. The
polling now consists of getting the state table, wait for PollSecs,
then purge obsolete entries, and so on.

With this patch, the `-t' option adds an alarm that will flush the
cache after CONFIG(purge_timeout) seconds specified in the config
file. This looks much cleaner and more performance that looping
on the entire conntrack table to set the new timeout of every single
entry.

This patch moves the existing `-v' behaviour to `-s queue' where it
really belongs. The `-v' option is now left to display the version
which is the common use of it.

This patch adds the clause PollSecs that changes the normal
behaviour of conntrackd. With PollSecs set to > 0, conntrackd
polls every N seconds the entries.
This is the opposed behaviour of an event-driven behaviour but may
be useful for those that have really strong limitations in terms of
CPU consumption and want to perform a relaxed replication.

This patch is a cleanup. The overrun handler is actually a way to
resynchronize against the conntrack kernel table. The name overrun
was used because it was initially its purpose. The new naming shows
its genericity.

This patch unifies the tx_list and the tx_queue to have only one
transmission queue. Since the tx_list hold state objects and
tx_queue control messages, I have introduced a queue node type
that can be used to differenciate the kind of information that
the node stores: object or control message.
This patch also reworks the existing queue class to include a
file descriptor that can be used to know if there are new data
added to the queue (see QUEUE_F_EVFD flag).
In this change, I have also modified the current evfd to make the
file descriptor to make read operations non-blocking. Moreover,
it keeps a counter that is used to know how many messages are
inserted in the queue.

This patch changes the current behaviour of the filtering selection.
Up to now, conntrackd has used the kernel version to select the
filtering method based on the following logic: If kernel is >= 2.6.26
we use BSF-based filtering from kernel-space, otherwise, default to
userspace.
However, this filtering method still lacks of IPv6 support and
it requires a patch that got into 2.6.29 to filter IPv6 addresses
from kernel-space. To fix this issue, we default to user-space
filtering and let the user choose the method via the configuration
file.

This patch introduces the option `-v' to show useful debugging
information, if any. As for now, only sync-ftfw.c make use of it to
display the content and the length of the resent list/queue. This
is useful to check for message leaks. Other working modes or
synchronization approaches may use it to display debugging
information in the future.
This patch removes _SIGNAL_DEBUG in sync-ftfw.c that was used for
for the same purpose. However, it could only be enabled at compilation
time and it uses signalling instead of the standard UNIX socket
interface that conntrackd provides.

Check if the Linux kernel is >= 2.6.26, otherwise it does not support
kernel-space filtering. This is not clean but we have no choice, the BSF
infrastructure does not return ENOTSUPP for unsupported operations.

This patch adds the clause PurgeTimeout that sets the new timer
when conntrackd -t is called. This command is particularly useful
when the sysadmin triggers hand-overs between several nodes without
rebooting as it reduces the timers of the remaining entries in
the kernel. Thus, avoiding clashes between new and old entries that
may trigger INVALID packets.

This patch adds nl_get_conntrack and it changes the behaviour of
nl_exist_conntrack. Now, nl_get_conntrack requests the kernel for
a conntrack and updates the cached entry. On the other hand,
nl_exist_conntrack only inquiries for the existence of the
entry.

This patch adds the new option `-t' for conntrackd. This option shortens
the value of the timeout for the cached entries that lives in the
kernel. This option is particularly useful to remove the zombie
established entries that remain in kernel if the user tests the platform
by forcing the takeover from one to another node several times.
We currently use the value of CommitTimeout which is sane for it. Adding
a new option does not seem to add more flexibility IMO.
Once we get the patches to notify user changes via ctnetlink and the
netlink flag NLM_F_ECHO works, we may directly invoke a massive purge of
the entries, however, such solution would still need evaluation.

This patch reworks the user-space filtering. Although we have
kernel-space filtering since Linux kernel >= 2.6.26, we keep userspace
