Re: [PATCH] IPv6 MIB:ipv6inetNetToMediaTable

Why shouldn't the kernel provide the real MIBs information? Is it breaking
any application if I make the right changes?

Thanks

Thanks. This is a bug fix for the update value (last change) to be a
TimeStamp according to new IP MIBs. There is no confirm value in the new

IP

MIBs inetNetTomedia Entry, I don't know what's the confirm for, I still
keep it, but change it to TimeStamp. Is there any application using these
values right now? If you agree we can fix any applications reference

these

values.

ditto. application should obtain real MIB information using
information provided by kernel.
(If information is not enough, let kernel provide additional
information.)
