i'm not trying to bother you, but there's surely something I dont understand.

In the kernel we have:
   if (info->u.nth.count++ == info->u.nth.every)
    info->u.nth.count = 0;

--every 4 --packet 2
count = 1, every = 3, packet = 2

1th packet:
           if (1 == 3) { // no match

2th packet:
           if (2 == 3) { // no match

3th packet:
            if (3 == 3) { // match and set __count = 0__

next time we will match the 4th packet.
Is what I should expect ? or there's something wrong.
