You are suggesting that the interface name-space have the protocol embedded in it (which was the original Mentat/ndd approach). This also introduces artificial constraints. Taking the classic frag_timeout example, it's more cumbersoume to have to specify "set-prop ip_frag_timeout <foo>" and "set-prop ip6_frag_timeout <foo>", when I really want all IP packets (V4 and V6) to have a frag timeout of <foo>. --Sowmini
