... Thank you for submitting the patch.
It is great to see more people taking part in development tasks, but I am not really sure what has been done here.
The main problem is that I do not know what IPTraffic does, or how it works. The code is in a tarball and I am not aware if there is a Git repository to see what has been changed over time.
I'm working on this.

What do you suggest we should do right now?
As a start, I rewrote the whole building and installation process - I got rid of the tarball. I would test if its ok - one of the 'Devels' is already working on it - and building as expected and then push it to GIT / Patchwork. This would make the current code readable and transparent to everybody.
Done. Sent a reworked version.
Suggestion: Then "someone" (sorry, not me, thats far beyond my capabilities) should be able to decide whether she/he is able to use and rewrite the existing code to eliminate the disussed "shortcomings" (Google translate, I don't know if this fits!) and if it can be integrated or publishd as an addon. I can't decide if it would be better to start from scratch, see above (Bernhards comments).
Best, Matthias
