I know TCP Splicing, but there is no code available on Linux (as far as I
can search on the Internet). I started to write one a month ago, but I
didn't get time to work on it this month. The draft code of TCP Splicing
for Linux is available at http://linux-vs.org/~wensong/tcpsp-draft.tar.gz
Maybe I will polish the draft code and release the first version in the
following weeks. :)
Cheers,
Wensong
