I spoke with Cho-san here last week regarding his work and future directions. He is very emphatic about both the ongoing development of ALTQ and its use in deployed systems. I believe that the FreeBSD core are interested in incorporating his work when he feels it is ready. If you want to hear more about ALTQ, Cho Kenjiro will be talking about it at USENIX this year. We hope also to hear from Ito Jun-ichiro about the WIDE group's IPv6 work at an IPv6 BOF and/or the FreeBSD BOF. > Cisco beware!

Certainly for the low-middle end routing server market, FreeBSD does a reasonable job. We could route IPX a bit better, perhaps. 8) > The last thing we need on our way is a Cisco-IOS shell integrating all > those features under the well-known IOS command syntax. I will say that is, indeed, the very last thing we need. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
