Excuse me, please forget anything related to "Mobile IP" during this discussion; do not assume that Mobile IP is the only user of CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES.
At the moment it is :) I was just making a point about the IMHO flawed semantics of CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES. If you keep the original (first dest, then src) key ordering you basically can't use the subtrees for anything else but storing source address specific host routes. With the reversed order you can do a lot more... -Ville -- Ville Nuorvala Research Assistant, Institute of Digital Communications, Helsinki University of Technology email: vnuorval@tcs.hut.fi, phone: +358 (0)9 451 5257
