Hi Ying, We discussed this, and even had a first version where we did this, performing the whole attach/detach tasks in the command execution itself. This resulted in way to much new code to my taste. My greatest concern now is that some users will enable this interface because they think it is necessary (we have already seen cases of that) and then start complaining about performance. So, as a compromise, I suggested we could add a "confirmation" printout in the tipc tool when the loopback interface is enabled, to make the user understand that this is for tracing only. Do you think this would be acceptable?
