The only "new design" I would offer would be to back this errant fix out of the gate. The code was better the way it was before, and the change does not actually fix any real problem that anyone encountered. It's gratuitous, and I'm surprised that a reviewer didn't object. Given that this is OpenSolaris, I was hoping that we could have a meaningful conversation about this change on a mailing list that's intended for that purpose. Obviously, that's not to be, because I'm instead getting weird demands that I name other "multitasking operating systems" that implement standardized protocols. Since nobody else is jumping in here -- either a reviewer who thought that this change was reasonable or any other developer with an interest in the issue would have been welcome -- I'm giving up. It's not worth my time. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list networking-discuss@opensolaris.org
