There's actually the germ of an interesting idea in that statement. If I'm going to go to the trouble, let's say, of running a local TCP forwarder (good for the whole device), can I run a packet sniffer at the same time and watch netflows and edit the responses I return to the device based on what I see performance-wise concerning those flows?
Expert me says that web sites are loaded with too much cruft and since the far end terminations are spread far and wide, there's not enough opportunity to apply that learning in any practical sense. But I could be wrong. (https://github.com/m3047/shodohflo)
