It is not using AF_PACKET to support some strange probes, it only supports UDP jitter for Cisco. It is using AF_PACKET so it can see full header MAC, VLAN, IP, so it can respond to any IP, any VLAN, without needing explicit configuration in responder end. It can be huge OPEX save, when no one needs to be taught how to add VLAN to linux. When you want to add new IP SLA/RPM for L3 MPLS VPN, you just configure the PE and leave responder alone. You don't even have to know if the polling client is Cisco or Juniper. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
