Hi all,

I fully agree; let's move to the "domain" name for this feature. Then
high level part of the feature can be summarized into:
  "quagga is able to manage several routing tables/domains, period.".

The "low level" part is: how do I feed kernel with those tables; and
this is directly  correlated to what those different tables are used
for : populate netns, VRFs, MRFs, any mix of indirection levels, etc.
which is of course very OS-dependent.

Best regards,
Alain

Cisco supports logical routers( ala VDC's in the NX/OS line), it's
purely managed at the application level though.  Logical Routers(or
VDC's) are roughly equivalent to the set of patches you have put forward
though, especially with how the netns completely separates the
processes.  This is the reason why in our OOB conversation with Vincent
that we argued for calling the construct something else besides VRF's.
To much baggage with expectations on behavior.  This is the same reason
that we are calling our 'VRF' implementation 'MRF' instead.

I wouldn't attempt to match the Cisco cli since you are going to put
forward a patch to name this feature domain's.

            We realize VRFs with linux netns by default. The main job is
            to associate a VRF with a netns. Currently this is done by
            the configuration:

                [no] vrf N netns <netns-name>


              Wouldn't be better if this command were in a Cisco
        compatible syntax?

    Does Cisco support Linux netns? I'm not aware of that, so like any
    non Cisco
    related Quagga's feature, we cannot create compability syntax of
    something that
    does not exist ;-)
