The draft is quite readable: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-farinacci-lisp-08 > Does this connect at all with SCTP's capacity to multihome? (AFAIK) Not at all. They try to solve similar problems (or at least there is some intersection). A word about the implementation. The interception mechanism for LISP tunneled packets in ip_input/forward is *horrible*! Some of that is due to the design, but I believe it can be implemented much cleaner if you were to use the pfil(9) API. I'd really like to avoid putting this kind of stuff into the main ip code as it hurts readability a lot. -- /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
