Justin, you originally implemented policing.  Why does policing apply
itself only to IPv4?  That is, why does it not select all traffic on the
interface regardless of protocol?  Does it make sense to apply Mike's
patch to add IPv6 support, or would it make better sense to change the
code to select all packets.

Thanks,

Ben.
