I'm not seeing why driver developers would have to ever consider the persistence lifecycle for the IP interfaces (since these are IP properties, not driver props). Can you clarify what you have in mind? However the answer to your next question describes the life-cycle > Are persisted interface properties assigned post-plumb but pre-up? yes, the properties will be applied after IP is plumbed, but before the interface is marked up. > Does the modification of properties and runtime stay the same as in Phase I? There are some simplifications possible for global props because IP is never unloaded- (see Section 4). As for per-interface props, the current model only allows these to be modified when the interface is plumbed for IP (and will reapply the settings if the interface is unplumbed/plumbed). This constraint may be relaxed in the future, as we expand the design to allow more flexible configuration models. --Sowmini _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
