Just off the top of my head... =2E..has anyone run into problems with the scalability of this call? One of the XORP users needs to create =BB1000 interfaces in Linux, and I'= m=20 wondering if any FreeBSD users need to create that amount of network=20 interfaces. As such the getifaddrs() call is likely to get slow in that scenario, as = it uses a linked list. cheers BMS
