Is there any reason why gtk/rpc_progs.c, gtk/h225_ras_srt.c, and gtk/h225_counter.c use reddisect_packets() instead of retap_packets()? Noting the comment in h225_ras_srt.c, it appears someone's already made this observation about one of these files (I'm guessing Guy =).

If there's no good reason can we change them please?

Thanks,
Ian

In the other direction, is there any reason that the packet list needs
to be rebuilt every time a new tap listener is added or changed in some
way?

Definitely not, at least in some cases, which is why I created
"retap_packets()" and made the tap code use it in some places - it doesn't rebuild the packet list, it just redissects the packets (and doesn't even
bother building the protocol tree if there are no tap filters).
