Question about ktcpvs

Yes.

You may but I don't think the code is ready for those games yet. You 
would need to code it yourself if I remember the status of the current 
code correctly.

I suggest you either use tc and u32 filters or the new 2.6.9 (when it 
will be released) kernel with dynamic u32 filters.

Best regards,
