> (after all other packet processing).
> 
> --flush-timeout [delay]
> Flush the packet queue if no packets have been seen during [delay]. As long
> as packets are seen, the timer is reset.

> Add several options to simulate route lookups (memory reads) in tables that

> These options simulates the while stack traversal and will trash the cache.
