IMHO it is much easier to improve and merge bird code instead of writing another OSPF implementation from scratch. There are _some_ non-resolved issues with OSPF lsa withdrawal/announce, but it will be fixed "soon". > implementation, quagga doesn't scale well and openospfd doesn't compile > on 10-RELEASE or CURRENT. > > But I'm only interested in selectively processing packets on the > netmap-enabled interface. Is there a way to do this? Or alternatively Yes, you can do this by adding another to-host inteface. AFAIK current bridge code for netmap is a good example. In fact, we're using netmap as forwarding appliance with bird as control plane mechanism. > if I throw the IF into netmap mode, can I process what I'm interested in > processing and then somehow throw the rest of the traffic back up to the > host's IP stack? > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
