Brad Chapman had an attempt to port IPv4 conntrack to IPv6 but his code was never accepted. Last year I worked on the prototype of an unified conntrack code, but it was never released. Unfortunately just conntrack doesn't seem to be enough - one is tempted to implement NAPT etc. as well. > Are there plans on doing state support? Is it all that much more > difficult? A straight porting is not so difficult, but that direction cannot be followed because it would result in a severe code-duplication. Unification takes a lot of time.
