Re: support of iso networking

[Joseph T. Klein]

I would encourage you all to get this working. Looking at the NetBSD
CVS it looks pretty stable.

So does Juniper hack this in when they build JunOS?

"In case you were wondering why this code is still present:

The ISO (or OSI) stack is still in use by many router vendors (e.g., using
IS-IS the OSI equivalent of OSPF, to carry IP routes).

it has been there but was removed about 7 years ago because nobody wanted
to maintain it. You can take a look at it via cvsweb.

Now it is not possible to use easily an ISIS routing protocol with FreeBSD
;-( For example, the Zebra's isisd is using a hack based on the BPF. Are
there any people who have been trying to port netiso from FreeBSD 2.X to
FreeBSD 4 or FreeBSD 5 ?

I guess there is no developers who have netiso in use.
I think it would be easier to port NetBSD stuff than trying to revive
our own netiso bits.
I can commit the patches if you will make them and once they will work for you
(I think they will not hurt anyone).
