>as you are using netbsd, you already have it..... >/sys/netatm hi- actually, it didn't make the cut-off date for netbsd-1.2, and netbsd's sup server is currently serving up 1.2release. however, i put it up for ftp at ftp://dworkin.wustl.edu/dist/bsd (includes the work i did to get it running under freebsd 2.2-960612-SNAP). when netbsd's sup returns from 1.2 to -current it will all appear. btw, when i wrote that code i tried to constrain myself to making minimal changes to the rest of the kernel and adding no new user-level programs. (i figured if i did anything too offbeat it would make it harder for the BSD groups to accept it in their source trees...!) the single hardware interface with llinfo/arp stuff fit in very well with my plan, and as an added bonus I was also able to fold in support for plain aal0 and aal5 netnatm sockets (which we need and use for our research) with minimal effort. so that (plus a desire to get something useful "on the table" for people to look at) is what motivated the design of the code. i didn't really think about issues such as "IF per VC" at the time... cheers, chuck
