	Although I'm not directly involved in this, any sort of hash table
designed to maintain a list of src/dest IPs+ports would be extremely useful
to me in keeping track of information for cross graphs.  I actually only
need src/dest IPs for that, but that would be easily handled by using the
same port number for everything.

	For ipv4, I /could/ keep a list with 64-bit ids (the concatenation
of the 2 addresses), but that causes performance problems in searching on
32-bit machines.  Besides, it wouldn't scale well to ipv6 addresses.

	There are lots of things I /could/ do... this would just be handy
and potentially save me work. ;-)
