At this point its still very much in the development stages. I encountered some delays due to lack of hardware, problems with reference systems and am resolving some problems with my test machines (Damn Compaq boxes.) I'm not sure what the status of the other developers is. /* Matthew N.

It works with every IBM card I threw at it and the 3Com 619B TokenLink III. One problem remains: source routing. Matt Thomas advised a long time ago to make the llinfo_arp struct of variable length and just append the route info fields. This seems pretty logical, but there's one case I recently found in the release notes of the NeXT token-ring driver: If you have a Multi-Ring network and your sending a BOOTP request (broadcast !) from one ring to be answered by the BOOTP server on another ring, the broadcast contains source route info that is needed when the reply is sent. When the BOOTP server replies it'll set an arp entry for the (ip-address, mac-address) pair it knows from the various fields in the BOOTP structure but it doesn't know about the source route info that was sent with the request. It's easy to detect a broadcast with source route info but where should that information be stored, somewhere in the route tree perhaps ? Or a separate radix tree containing MAC --> Source Route mappings ? If that's the case the ARP handling should be made much more general. (Note that the 4.4BSD book says "Although ARP is not specific either to Internet protocol addresses or the Ethernet, the 4.4BSD network subsystem supports only that combination, although it makes provision for additional combinations to be added) (additional == addition in the book). How general should the source routing solution be ? In case of a token-ring network with lots of IPX traffic you don't want to add all these source routing bits to the table, or do you ?
