Getting rid of mipagent itself and its config files may be reasonable if it is an orphan, and unusable as-is.
However, if anyone might ever have use for Mobile IP (hard to say if it was only usable in Solaris 9), ripping out the kernel hooks seems a bit extreme to me, esp. the ones marked "stable". In particular, I wonder if the IP_RECVSLLA option might have use beyond just Mobile IP implementation. Also, it seems to me that the demand for the infrastructure functionality (home agent, foreign agent) isn't necessarily the same as the demand for whatever functionality is required by a mobile node; the latter might be quite desirable for laptops and such. (it's not clear to my by a very cursory reading of Mobile IP docs just what functionality a mobile node needs over and above basic IP functionality) Getting rid of a nonfunctional daemon with no current customers, I understand. Getting rid of the facilities which could support an independent effort to get it up to date and functioning properly again, that I'm not so clear on the advantage of. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
