Well, both IPv6 is still a bit of a moving target, but on the other hand, current is bleeding edge. I believe someone at INRIA also did a port of the INRIA IPv6 code to current, so it's certainly doable. The bigger problem I see is keeping in synch with INRIA. Since IPv6 is a moving target, so's the INRIA code. Francis Dupont and his team have made it easy to add the code to FreeBSD at various release levels. They provide the changed files, and you just unpack them on top of /usr/src, build world, and away you go. The INRIA code also runs on NetBSD, and in my day job, I'm part of a team that ported the INRIA code to IBM's AIX. -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
