The following reply was made to PR kern/12646; it has been noted by GNATS.

This is a wart resuling from a path of development which was never completed. What was supposed to happen eventually was that the underlying protocols would be modified to do the work of ip_output() themselves, implementing only that part of the functionality which was actually necessary. Unfortunately, this work basically stopped when I changed jobs (the previous employer was paying for it), so things were left in this intermediate state. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
