I didn't see the parent post on this, and was working on exactly
the same question. Think there are still a few bugs out there,
especially with differing kernel configs (complex bridging,
some filtering, ipsec, tcp options, v6 support, etc). We'd like to beef
up some network test cases and then grind it out through all
the test frameworks. Yes on the latter question.

thanks,
