Why should anybody test it just to tell if it is a home brewed protocol or
not? And how is the fact that it "works great" relevant to this

unfortunately missing.

BTW if you have experience with CARP, could you please explain why a
kernel implementation is desirable, and how is it related to the pf
firewall?
