NetMap in OpenBSD

2014-10-14 Thread Mikael
NetMap (http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/) in OpenBSD would be a great idea. It's a simple API for solving an important problem, at least its core parts. Is OBSD's kernel structure suited as it is for NetMap? What's the interest out there for NetMap on OBSD? Thanks, Mikael

Unfortunately host is maintained upstream, in the bind codebase, by ISC. You should file your bug report there, because that is the right way to get change into the ecosystem. We could fix it here, and be different, then there will be even more problems. (Unfortunately, I expect them to mumble s
