As Srikanth said, not needed for capetown.

Some possibilities we've been thinking about using it for:

* enforcing per-user or per-device usage caps (in capped settings)
* rate-limiting and QoS functionality
* remote management, troubleshooting, or security services.  See this, for example:
	http://www.gtnoise.net/papers/2010/feamster:homenets2010.pdf

I'd love to get this into the build sometime soon-ish, so I could encourage people to use it in my class this coming fall. :-)

-Nick
