1) Is anyone working on the bridging code? I'm going to extend the ng_bridge node with Spanning Tree Protocol and I wouldn't want to be duplicating work. I checked in -current, but I thought I'd check on -net as well. (And -arch because of my next question) 2) Where does one draw the line at handling stuff in the kernel or userspace. The algorithms that are used in the Spanning Tree Protocol aren't very complicated, and I'm pretty sure I could contain everything in kernel space, but what is the Right Thing to do? Everything in kernelspace, or running a userland daemon that does all the calculating, decision making and time tracking?
