Object :)
Divert is really useful way to get packets from firewall to userspace, 
analyse or process them some way and put them back. Really I see no 
other way for this for IPv6. I've tried ng_socket+ng_nat but there is no 
easy way to put a packet back in firewall.

I'm very interested in the process. And I'm ready to help in testing.
