Does this make sense? Sorry for the late response. I definitely prefer this netlink idea, particularly for the metadata aspect. Yes, the ethernet frames should "identify" the device, but I much more like the idea of precisely having the geographic ID of the device (PCI ID, whatever) available as metadata as well. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
