hello. I have a bunch of NetBSD-5.2 machines networked together using the etherip(4) protocol. I'm interested in beginning to think about how to upgrade that fleet of devices to NetBSD-9 in hopes of capturing better network performance. I know the etherip(4) driver was removed from NetBSD-9, so I have the following questions:
1. I don't remember if the networking stack in NetBSD-9 is multi-threaded or not. Can someone say how much concurrency is available in the NetBSD-9 stack? 2. Is there a way to get the NetBSD-9 stack to speak to NetBSD-5.2 using the etherip(4) protocol without having to update the NetBSD-5.2 machines? -thanks -Brian
