From: Fred L. Templin <redacted> This patch includes support for the Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) per RFC4214. It uses the SIT module, and is configured using extensions to the "iproute2" utility. The diffs are specific to the Linux 2.6.24-rc2 kernel distribution. This version reflects changes based on netdev list discussions on 11/14/07 thru 11/15/07. It does away with in-the-kernel RS/RA pinging and now asks that the task be performed by an application. The application will essentially entail a port of the FreeBSD 'rtsold' daemon, and will use the standard socket API. Signed-off-by: Fred L. Templin <redacted>
I think we've made Fred jump through enough hoops :-) I've added this to net-2.6.25, any fixups should be sent relative to this, thanks. Although that default router lookup on every packet doesn't look so cheap, I wonder if there is a less expensive way to implement that bit.
