Well, that was a reason why i was reluctant for long to include IPv6 multipath support in BIRD, hoping that Kernel people fix their API. That happened about half year after i finally gave up. OK, so we will likely postpone the transition. Hopefully our plan to ditch 2.4.x kernel workarounds in BIRD 2.0 will meet less resistance. ;-) -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
