Hi, I noticed that whenever a new multicast address is formed or in general any address (IPV6) is formed there is a call to ioctl through (*ifp->if_ioctl). Kindly mail me regarding the following doubts. 1) Whether IOCTL's must be done each & every time IP addresses are formed. 2) Whether IOCTL's are necessary for each & every multicast link local address formed to add to the interface. 3) Whether adding new ipv6 addresses to the in6_ifaddr list or ifnet address list requires IOCTL's each & every time it is added. 4) Once after ifnet structure is initialized each & every cahnge of it requires an IOCTL. 5) Whether for adding the first ipv6 address only IOCTL is needed? 6) Wether IOCTL's are needed to be performed for pseudo devices added? Waiting for your comment. regards ravi prasad __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
