I have not any performance measurements, but this code is for compatibility and it has more checks to implement this compatibility. So, I doubt it is more efficient :) Internally all symbolic names are mapped into indexes and there should not be any performance impact on packets processing. -- WBR, Andrey V. Elsukov
