Hi This is interesting and would be nice to have, but i don't understand one detail. I understand why you need replacement for kernel proto to translate routes to flows for SDN, but i don't understand why you need replacement for device proto to create fake interfaces if you also plan to use tun/tap - in that case you would already have 'real' tun/tap ifaces which would be enumerated in BIRD in a standard way. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: [email protected]) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
