Though this code should work, it violates wccp spec as it described in
draft-wilson-wrec-wccp-v2-00.txt. For example, it sends capability IEs
before router advertises them.

Moreover, it doesn't support configurations with multiple routers in
service group. But I'm very amazed by work done to turn original
visolve wccp2 patch in at least this - capable to work with multiple
caches in service group :)

Some time ago I've started pywccpd to overcome limitations in original
patch and to be able to use wccp redirection with squid 3.
Unfartunately, project was stalled, mainly because I've reached
"works-for-me" state, and because of lack of L2-capable routers.

Can you please borrow some ideas from it?
