We've not had any panics, but we have had wierd stops forwarding that started recently (on 8.1) which seemed to be triggered by the BPF, but it could be related in some way. The odd thing is that this system has run the same code for 13 months. And the 29 day stops only started recently. Ermal has asked for some more detailed debugging, but that's really really hard to get because the system involved handles so much traffic and the state table is so big, it's a needle in a continent of haystacks. Anyway, we're going to be migrating this system to Gleb's code early this week and take it from there. Ian -- Ian Freislich
