Hi Chris,

Thanks for the info.

Next week I will look into the kis-0.13-4.18 tag as well as the updated centos7 repo.

And I just updated the centos7-web10g repo to 3.10.693-21

This also includes an important bug fix. The build process would be like
for any other kernel.

get the repo
make menuconfig
enable TCP Extended Statistics MIB
make -j(#of cores) rpm-pkg
