Hello, dropwatch is an utility to monitor kernel internal for packet drop. In fact this is a userspace interface to CONFIG_NET_DROP_MONITOR. Why it is needed? I was requested on LKML to use it to gather proper bugreport data. Also it is handy in analysis and debugging of sophisticated firewall/router setups. Ebuild and Gentoo-related patches will follow soon.
