Can the infrastructure being put in place for the IP tunneling project be
easily leveraged to build tunnels for the following protocols?
* L2TP
* GRE
* PPTP
I suspect these will be new Nemo MAC plugins.
Can these be implemented as seperate kernel modules in Solaris?
If the start of section 6 is true - "This library will provide a
project-private API" -
does this preclude people outside of Sun from developing against your spec?
How is this useful for someone else with OpenSolaris that wants to
develop a tunnel device driver using this project's framework?
As I read it, you're introducing an API for you to use but nobody else,
so I ask what is the point of it being a documented API?
Given how trivial IP in IP should be, is it worthwhile demonstrating
with source code how to build such a tunneling device driver is? This
maybe a completely seperate document, but the idea is heavily commented
source code so that others can understand what's required to build a
working tunnel driver to work against this project and where they should
start hacking if they want to "change something", like the encapsulation.
