Easy - for example i have my own TCP acceleration solution, which is using
REDIRECT, then getsockopt/SO_ORIGINAL_DST to get original IP, then forwarding
to compressed tunnel, stripping unneeded bytes (oh, my expensive satellite
bandwidth). This way for example i can do some kind load-balancing for
satellite bandwidth. But i have done it over -m statistic.
