Check out the thread "[PATCH][RFC] etherip: Ethernet-in-IPv4 tunneling" that was on netdev in January of 2005 -- a number of arguments against etherip (and for tunneling ethernet in GRE) were raised back then. One of the most significant ones, IMHO: > Another argument against etherip would be that OpenBSD apparently > mis-implemented etherip by putting the etherip version nibble in the > second nibble of the etherip header instead of the first, which would > probably prevent the linux and OpenBSD versions from interoperating, > negating the advantage of using etherip in the first place. cheers, Lennert - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
