Hi all, In the same line as some of the recent IPv6 patches being submited for comments, and taking into consideration RFCs such as 'SEcure Neighbor Discovery (SEND)' (RFC 3971) and 'Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA)' (RFC 3972) where the complexity associated with maintaining addresses and performing neighbor discovering increases considerably, what would be the possibility of inclusion of code that would allow the outsource of address configuration, DAD and neighbor discovery to a user-space control application (being that the first two can already be somewhat outsourced)? Of course that the final decision is always based on the patch itself but i would like to probe the developers about the possibility of ever merging such code. Personally i believe that this kind of control logic should always be in user-space to allow for greater flexibility -- but i'm aware that lots of people prefer to have it in kernel to minimize deployment dependencies.
Comments?
