One other model to look at is The Click Modular Router, which is about modularizing the routing part of the code, as opposed to the end station code. Look at http://www.xorp.org because Click, and FreeBSD are in there. I have always thought that a network protocol toolkit would be a good thing, but admit that I have never had time to do the required work on our stack. It would take a lot of reworking to get it right, as others have pointed out already. But... If you do it, I want to know about it :-) Later, George _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
